Officer within the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) revealed that despite having Sorcery Offense under the Criminal Law, still the country have not dealt with any case so far.
Speaking to the Solomon Star, the DPP officer said the law is there but it does not elaborate on the offense of sorcery and not specific on how to deal with such cases.
Explaining that it is difficult since the requirements of the court to provide evidences in sorcery cases will not go down well with allegations of blaming people, based on assumptions.
He said court only charge people who assault suspected sorcerers and so far two cases of murder related to such were dealt with by the court, one in Isabel and now the recent one in the Guadalcanal plains.
