Police
are currently hunting for a famous Malawian businessman who is on the run for
allegedly killing a boy with albinism for money ritual.
The
businessman identified as Willard Mikayele on Tuesday allegedly lured
19-year-old Sunganani Pensulo with biscuits and juice into his house at Mlonda
Village, where he killed him.
The
spokesperson for police in Thyolo said when Pensulo entered the house of
Mikayele and was eating the biscuit and drinking the juice, Mikayele came from
behind, tied up his neck to choke him before hitting him with a sharp object.
'People around the area heard the cries and
went to the chief who ordered that the door be broken. When they got in, Pensulo's lifeless body was
found, but Mikayele had run away.'
In
retaliation to his death, angry mob and relatives of Pensulo have demolished 11
houses belonging to Mikayele.
According
to Nyasa Time, late Pensulo is the 19th person with albinism killed by those
who think the body parts of albinos can bring fortunes and wealth.
