Albinos butchered for body parts in Barundi, sorcerors/witch doctors responsible
News - Africa: Albinos flee sorcerers and organ traders
Quote:
On September 22, a 16-year-old albino girl by the name of Spes was attacked in her village of Nyabitsinda.
She was dismembered and her body parts disappeared. A few days later, it was the turn of a man in the village of Bweru. Officials have reported two other recent murders in other parts of the country.
Police have established that the limbs, organs and blood of the albinos were smuggled into neighbouring Tanzania and sold to local sorcerers who use them to concoct lucky charms.

Holy #*$$&*&%*!!! That is some crazy stuff. It's weird how such a bad idea like that just pops up and spreads so quickly. Apparently fishermen have been using chunks of albino body parts as bait to lure fish that they think have gold in their bellies.
