Police in Phalombe are keeping in custody three men and a woman for allegedly being found with eight human bones suspected to be of a person with albinism.<\/p>\n
A misguided myth has it that body tissue of people with albinism bring good luck.<\/p>\n
Phalombe Police Spokesperson, Augustus Nkhwazi has identified the four as a Mozambican national Petro Jezemani, 33, Starford Chimenya, 45, Kondwani Patrick, 38 and Rose Kumpama, 39.<\/p>\n
According to Nkhwazi, the four were arrested on Monday night following a tip off from members of the general public.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were allegedly offering for sale the human bones to a businessman at Mitekete Trading Centre in the district. The businessman tipped us and we rushed to the scene where the four were arrested. The eight bones were wrapped in black plastic papers and are currently at Phalombe Health Centre for examination,\u201d Nkhwazi said.<\/p>\n
Jezemani comes from Kholomana Village in the area of Chief Kholomana in Milanje District, Mozambique, while Chimenya is from Takhiwa Village in Chief Njema in Mulanje, Patrick is from Milande Village in the area of Chief Nazombe and Rose Kumpama comes from Mukakhe Village, T\/A Kaduya, both in Phalombe District.<\/p>\n
