PNG's Marape says tribal dispute deaths causes 'grief' to government

Sixty-four bloodied bodies have been found along a stretch of road in Papua New Guinea's remote highlands, police said Monday. The incident occurred near the town of Wabag, about 370 miles northwest of the capital Port Moresby.

The victims were believed to be tribal fighters who were ambushed by a rival group in the early hours of Sunday. Clans have fought each other in Papua New Guinea's highlands for centuries. Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister said"Every moment a life has been lost or lawlessness is happening in our country it causes grief to government.
