5. Black Jesus

Born in Papua New Guinea, Stephen Tari began studying to be a Lutheran Minister before eventually abandoning that calling (it’s unclear if he chose to leave the school or if he was kicked out). He traveled deep into the mountains of New Guinea, where he started his own religion, calling himself “Black Jesus.”
The cult grew to have about 6,000 members, despite their controversial use of “Flower Girls”—specially chosen young girls who served as concubines for Tari and other cult leaders. At one point, Tari claimed to have 430 of them.
In October 2006, Tari and members of his cult were apparently involved in a ceremony with 13-year-old Rita Herman, whose mother had offered her up to Tari. During the ceremony, Tari raped Rita before stabbing her to death. It was also reported that Tari and the mother ate her flesh and drank her blood, although both denied this.
In October 2007, one set of villagers decided they had had enough andattacked Tari’s stronghold. They beat him and carried him out of the jungle tied to a log before handing him over to the police. Tari was subsequently convicted of four counts of rape, but was never charged with the murder. But on March 21, 2013, Tari, along with about 49 other inmates, escaped from his prison.
In August 2013, Tari was in a small village named Gal, where he apparently murdered a five-year-old girl and attempted to kill a teenage girl the next day. This time the villagers took care of Tari themselves. On August 29, a mob attacked Tari and a 15-year-old follower. They hacked and slashed at him, even castrating him, before burying him in a pit in the jungle.
