The funeral of the martyred brothers
24 October 2003
The Melanesian Brotherhood was founded in 1925. Seventy-eight years later, and sixty-one years after the violent deaths of the New Guinea Martyrs (below), in April 2003 seven members of The Melanesian Brotherhood died violently in the Weather Coast of the Solomon Islands. Harold Keke was held responsible for their deaths. The Brotherhood sought only to bring the Christian message of peace and died in that Christian service. May perpetual light shine upon them and may they rest in peace.
