Robbers invade a cemetery, scatter concrete, and exhume a body of an albino.
Police in Mozambique have opened an investigation into the theft of body parts from an albino national who recently passed away and was buried.
According to the BBC, the strange encounter happened in the western region of the country of eastern Africa, in the Tete province’s Moatize area.
Before stealing pieces of the corpse, the robbers reportedly dug through concrete that had been used to reinforce the grave.
According to reports, the 50-year-old deceased was just laid to rest in a village that borders Malawi. His kin reinforced the grave with concrete to deter any body theft, but the move backfired.
The incident has drawn criticism, with advocates for albinos urging for the Mozambican police to look into it straight once and prosecute those responsible.
“The cemetery is isolated. To get there it is a long distance, to go alone you have to think twice, otherwise, maybe a team [was involved],” the BBC quotes Remane Madane, an albino rights activist as saying
People with albinism, who lack pigment in their skin and seem pale, are hunted like game and slain for ritual purposes in various African nations, including Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania.
Some people in those African nations think the power of their black magic is enhanced by using albinos’ body parts in witchcraft. Another strange myth holds that albinos cannot feel free to move around, especially in remote locations, since albinos’ body parts are taken and used in rituals, which causes companies to prosper.
