Police in Kasungu are hunting for unknown criminals who over the weekend exhumed remains of a person with albinism from a graveyard at Mnyanja Village, Sub-T/A Chitanthamapiri in the district.

Kasungu Police Deputy Public Relations Officer Constable Harry Namwaza confirmed the development in an interview with Malawi News Agency (Mana).

Namaza said the suspected criminals dug out a grave of 14-year-old Martha Banda who died on 7th January, 2004.

He said some people from the area discovered that late Martha’s tomb was dug out when they went to prepare another grave for a 16-year-old boy who had just died from the same Village.

“CID officers visited the graveyard and it was discovered that the remains were taken by unknown criminals,” he said.mana
