Malawian police nab albino bone buyer

Police in Malawi's Machinga District have confirmed the arrest of a woman who is suspected to be a purchaser of bones belonging to deceased albino nationals, Nyasa Timesreports.

The suspect, Mary Gumbo, was alleged to have offered to buy the remains of deceased albinos, while also hunting for bones of people who had suffered from leprosy.

Police said that Gumbo enlisted the services of two men, identified as Mussa Kachepa and Mohammed James, to locate the bones for her.

Both Kachepa and James were nabbed with the exhumed bones of a leprosy sufferer in their possession.
