TANZANIA: FOUR SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR KILLING ALBINO TEENAGER

Four men, including a witchdoctor, were sentenced to death by Tanzania's High Court after being found guilty of abducting, killing and dismembering a 17-year-old albino boy.
The court was told the killers planned to sell the victim's organs for use in witchcraft. A fifth defendant was released because there was insufficient evidence to link him to the murder.
The witchdoctor, Adangalwisye Kayuni, was found with human intestines whose DNA matched that of the dead teenager, and another defendant was found in possession of four fingers and 10 bones which DNA tests proved were also those of the victim, the court in the southern city of Mbeya heard.
The boy, Henry Mwakajila, went missing in the Mbeya region one night in 2008, the prosecution said.
The court has sentenced 15 people to death for killing albinos since 2008, and the United Nations says at least 75 people with albinism - a lack of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes - have been killed in Tanzania since 2000.
