Folha de Maputo (File) / A man detained with hair of a person with albinism shows its trophy after being arrested in October 2015. At the time, he would have told Lichinga police that he intended to sell it for 1.2 million meticais. 'Customers' remain unpunished.
The number of detainees accused of involvement in the recent abduction and murder of an albino child in Lichinga, Niassa, has risen to five, according to the Niassa police spokesman Alves Mate.
The prisoners are Silajo Ussi, Omar João Ndala, Assima Mateus, Manuel Massinga and Dinis Bilar Abdal, whose ages range from 28 to 34 years old, and three of whom are from the Lago district.
The detainees are accused of kinapping and murdering 15-year-old Castro Jemusse in Lichinga’s Namacula neighbourhood after inviting him to go to a farm to harvest maize. The victim was instead taken to the town of Malémia in Sanga district, where he was killed.
The police spokesman said that the accused were found in possession of 12 human bones taken from Jemusse’s body, with further remains found in a small wood in Namacula.
“All the accused have confessed to having participated in the crime, and revealed to police that the body was dismembered in the village of Malémia in Sanga district in order to remove the bones for sale to an individual as yet unidentified. The police are working to apprehend this suspect.”
