The demand for albino body parts in Tanzania is spreading to neighbouring nations.
In the past two months three albinos have been murdered by criminal gangs in Burundi, which shares a border with Tanzania to the east. The latest victim is a six year old girl called Cizanye, a gang of men armed with rifles stormed the girls home and decapitated her with a machete, they then cut off her arms and legs and fled with the limbs.
Police believe the body parts will be sold to Witch Doctors in Tanzania where they will be made into lucky charms.
Despite efforts being made by the Tanzania Government to crack down on this barbarous crime, the number of gruesomely murdered albinos in Eastern Africa is still rising.
