A woman was allegedly killed and parts of her body eaten by a Papua New Guinean cult, local media reports.

Police in Kerema, Gulf Province on PNG's southwestern coast, arrested four people over the weekend believed to be part of a group who ate the dead woman.

Gulf provincial police commander Inspector Reuben Giusu told PNG's Post Courier newspaper the four arrested have admitted they killed the woman.

The group has been on the run for several weeks and relatives of the dead woman are now seeking compensation.

One suspect is still on the run.

Police say two women and four men ate the body parts of the married woman.

Giusu said the main suspect was a woman who hired the others by buying them five packets of rice, two packets of noodles, one tin of fish and five bunches of bananas.

Efforts to contact Kerema police and government administrators have been unsuccessful.
