The state has asked the High court in Blantyre to hand a life imprisonment sentence to 12 convicts that gruesomely killed a person with albinism, MacDonald Masambuka in Machinga in 2018.
Senior State Advocate, Pilirani Masanjala said the convicts carefully planned to commit the offence which caused loss of life.
The convicts include Alfred Yohane, police officer Chikondi Chileka, clinician Lumbani Kamanga, biological brother to the deceased, Cassium Masambuka, and Fr Thomas Muhosha.
Meanwhile, the defence team has asked the court to hand the convicts a 10 year jail sentence.
