Police are currently hunting for a famous Malawian
businessman who is on the run for allegedly killing a boy with
albinism for money ritual.
The businessman identified as Willard Mikayele on Tuesday
allegedly lured 19-year-old Sunganani Pensulo with biscuits
and juice into his house at Mlonda Village, where he killed
him.
The spokesperson for police in Thyolo said when Pensulo
entered the house of Mikayele and was eating the biscuit and
drinking the juice, Mikayele came from behind, tied up his
neck to choke him before hitting him with a sharp object.
'People around the area heard the cries and went to
the chief who ordered that the door be broken. When
they got in, Pensulo's lifeless body was found, but
Mikayele had run away.'
In retaliation to his death, angry mob and relatives of Pensulo
have demolished 11 houses belonging to Mikayele.
According to Nyasa Time, late Pensulo is the 19th person
with albinism killed by those who think the body parts
of albinos can bring fortunes and wealth.
