Malawian businessman allegedly kills an albino boy for money ritual

A popular Malawian businessman, Willard Mikayele, is wanted by the police for allegedly killing an albino boy for money ritual.

The businessman was said to have lured 19-year-old Sunganani Pensulo with biscuits and juice into his house at Mlonda Village, where he killed him. This happened on Tuesday, January 10.

The spokesperson for police in Thyolo said when Pensulo entered the house of Mikayele and was eating the biscuit and drinking the juice, Mikayele came from behind, tied up his neck to choke him before hitting him with a sharp object.

'People around the area heard the cries and went to the chief who ordered that the door be broken. When they got in, Pensulo's lifeless body was found, but Mikayele had run away.'

This got lots of people angry, making them to demolish 11 houses belonging to Mikayele. Late Pensulo is the 19th person with albinism killed by those who think the body parts of albinos can bring fortunes and wealth.

Sad!
