Mozambique ritual killings target bald men

Police in Mozambique have warned that bald people could be the targets of ritual attacks, after the brutal killing of two men whose body parts were to be used in witchcraft.

The two bald men, one of whom was found with his head cut off and organs removed, were killed in a part of the country already notorious for the persecution of albinos. Two suspects were arrested. Their statements said the organs were to be used by healers in rituals to boost the fortunes of clients in Tanzania and Malawi.
