Matthew Iovane and his American partner Michelle Clemens were trekking through the jungle when they were confronted by a gang who tied them up, stripped them naked and beat them with machetes.
At one point, Mr Iovane was shackled to a tree while Miss Clemens was repeatedly attacked and had her fingers sliced open.

Article contains pictures of some injuries sustained. The fingers one made me cringe.

Of course, all of the comments are about how much they'd love to 'eat' her

Matthew said: “We’d joked about the famous cannibals of Papua New Guinea’s jungle but it was no laughing matter when these men came out of the bush.

“They looked very scary in native costumes and what looked like warpaint and came closer before circling around us. They tore up my T-shirt to blindfold me and the awful thought crossed my mind that we could be on the menu.

Not laughing now are they? Maybe he'll be more careful where he wanders in the future.
In all honesty I would expect someone trekking through untamed jungle to have the odd scratch, I've had worse injuries than that hiking in the lake district.

Am I just a cynical old bastard, or is there something fishy about all this?

I've had worse injuries being attacked by Saturday night drunken 'cannibals' from Wakefield.

Still, it will all ensure a very lucrative best selling book deal - once it has all been ghost-written and further 'embroidered', and the subsequent film rights will pay massively too.

Give me a jungle full off cannibals over a Saturday night on Westgate anytime.
