Things are much different in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea than what most of us are accustomed to. An innocent family dispute over a bunch of bananas for instance can lead to tragedy. This is exactly what happened this weekend just gone past - A father lopped off his son's hand after a family fight had erupted over a bunch of bananas.
The Southern Highlands (SHP) family have since sent the severed hand back to their village for burial, while the 20-year old recovers in the Mendi General Hospital.
