National police Public Relations Officer, Rhoda Manjolo said the suspects had conspired to exhume the bones from one of the graveyards in Chisamiza village, T/A Kaomba in the district.

”They claimed there was someone looking to buy albino bones K10,000,000.00. They identified a grave but were caught by members of the public while digging it,” said Manjolo.

”When our officers visited the scene, they found the grave half dug. The four suspects are currently in custody”.

The four are expected to be charged with Trespassing and Tampering in the Graveyard under Section 189 and 129 of the Penal Code.
