Ten children’s bodies were discovered in Tanzania with missing teeth, ears, limbs and private parts.They are aged between two and nine.
The incident has been linked to ritual killings rife in East Africa, where body parts of children and people living with albinism are sought.

“The buyers of albino body parts are people who need wealth—they believe it’s an easy way to be rich,” revealed Al-Shaymaa J. Kwegyir, Tanzania’s first albino MP. “Men ill with HIV and AIDS have been known to abduct albino girls, in the belief that raping them might help cure their afflictions.”
The children are said to have been kidnapped from their homes at night.At the time their parents were at the market.Police have arrested one suspect, who is related to three of the children.
Deputy Health Minister Faustine Ndugulile told the media the children were reported missing in Njombe district.Health officials said investigations are underway and measures put in place to prevent such crimes.
