Accused witch gives birth in tree

It is hard to believe that this is still going on anywhere in the world, but apparently it is.

Papua New Guinea is largely Christianize today, with several different denominations. However, the pre-Christian animist roots are still very prevalent. This incident could possibly be a result of what American Pagans might call a "witch war". In other words, two groups with a long standing disputes, each using traditional magic against the other. The one that was losing decides to resort to more direct violence.
