The police in Mozambique are hunting for a group that decapitated 10 people on Sunday in the north of the country and who are suspected of being connected with extreme Islamic groups.
The crimes were committed in the middle of the jungle where there is no electricity or other infrastructures.
The first attack came at daybreak at a village called 25 de Junho, when the attackers killed two teenagers.
The youths were going to hunt small prey for food when they were found and killed, the police said.
The group then decapitated three adults from the same village.
In the evening, when the locals had been alerted, the group attacked and decapitated another five people from the village of Monjane, he added.
The police spokesman said they believed the culprits were part of the same group that machine-gunned police officers in the village of Mocímboa da Praia in October 2017 and that has been raiding rural villages in the area ever since.
