Njilagoma added that during interrogation the suspects admitted to have conspired, since March, 2017, to kidnap and sell a boy with albinism.

“The suspects told us that they wanted to sell the boy at K6 million,” he said.

Njilagoma is appealing to members of public to remain vigilant and work hand in hand with the police in order to maintain peace and security in the country.

All suspects come from Ntchisi district: Moses Kazonga of Kazonga Village, Traditional Authority Malenga, Kalirani Banda of Chikhutu Village, Traditional Authority Malenga and Bizaliele Amos of Kaipa Village, Traditional Authority Kalumo.

Such rascals very inhuman in behavior and conduct must be castrated and burned with fire in Kamuzu stadium when everybody is watching. Otherwise this innocent blood being shed somebody in power will have to pay for that.
