Woman Finds Husband's Head on Beach - Thu Sep 5,10:02 AM ET

HONIARA (Reuters) - A woman searching for her missing husband found his severed head on a beach in the strife-torn Solomon Islands, police said on Thursday.

Police said it appeared the man, who disappeared on Wednesday, had been beheaded, but they could not say whether it was linked to fighting between rival ethnic militia which has lefts hundreds dead in the past two years.

"Details of the incident are sketchy but reports we have received is that the man, a Seventh Day Adventist deacon from Veramogho Village in the Weathercoast area had gone to a nearby village," police spokesman Charles Lemoa told Reuters. "But when he failed to return, his wife went to search for him but only found his head which has been cut off and left without the rest of the body on the beach.

I hate it when those guys come and knock on the door. But, MAN, that's harsh!
