Wed Jul 23, 2014 7:1AM GMT
Tanzanian police have detained eight people in a case involving the dumping of 85 bags stuffed with human body parts, including limbs, fingers and skulls, in a Dar es Salam landfill.
...
According to reports, those arrested work at a private medical teaching college.
?We are detaining them for interrogation over the alleged dumping of the human body parts,? Kova added.
...
Police said they had no information as to why the body parts had been dumped, and would not comment as to whether they were connected to witchcraft ceremonies.
Attackers in Tanzania have reportedly killed a string of albinos in recent years. In Tanzania, albinos are killed and dismembered due to a widespread superstition that charms made from their body parts bring good fortune and prosperity.
There was no immediate indication, however, that any of the body parts found in the landfill belonged to albinos.
