I don't have the Murphy reference, but we do need more detail on sanguma in the Monumbo language of Bogia, and indeed some proof that it hasn't entered that language from TP, to attribute the term to this place.
Murphy (1985: 100) defines sanguma rather specifically: "The term originally comes from Madang where it was used to describe a species of malign sorcery and also the person gifted with the power of performing it.
It was performed by bringing about an apparent mesmerism of the victim by the sorcerer who then led him to his assistants and then the thorns were pushed into parts of the body where it was desired pain or illness would manifest itself and eventually cause the death of the victim.

Nor is there a single sanguma tradition: the powers and practices ascribed to sorcerers vary from place to place.
They may use twigs or leaves in their rites, or they may take personal items such as leftover food or excrement, parcel them in leaves and curse them, making their targets ill until the bundle is found (curing them) or destroyed (killing them).
Some sangumas are said to eat the dead, or replace the organs of the living with grass or stones.

One is that sanguma sorcerers would naturally have modern tools at their disposal, so that one very commonly feared version of what happens to a sanguma victim is that he/she is injected with battery acid via a syringe.
So the expert sorcerers are still said to reside inland, where they are believed to go to the haus tamberan to learn the relevant magic, e.g., to turn human bone into the kambang-like powder they use to stun people in the forest.
The spread of the word 'sanguma' in the post-World War II period is, I think, related to the spread of Tok Pisin, via the plantations." (p.

It appears that the deceased was fleeing from the scene of an accident and that he burst through the bush into a coffee garden where one of the accused fired arrows at him and the other accused hit him with an axe.
In the course of his judgment the learned trial judge said that he was not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the accused did not have an honest and reasonable belief that powers of sorcery were about to be put into action and he found that it was a mistaken belief if so held by them.
The fact that a man is or is believed to be a sanguma man is not to the point except in so far as it may bear on the nature and quality of his acts.

The once popular National Arts School Band Sanguma band of the late 70s gave way to the Tumbuna Band comprising pupils who came into the school after the Samguma Band pupils had graduated and left.
However because people could easily sway to Reggae, Rock n Roll, and Disco Sanguma succeeded only as a concert band and could not compete on the market with the other local groups.
A visiting West Papua Group (Black Brothers) who were seeking asylum from Indonesia at around that time also stole much of the limelite with a mix of rock, Bahasa Indonesia and west Papua dress and continued to influence the trend of PNG Music for the next few years after Sanguma.
