This belief and killing of albinos made the government of Tanzania to ban witch doctors.
Despite the ban, the killing of albinos continues.
One year old abino boy, Yohana Bahati who was snatched by an armed gang on February 15th was found in a Tanzanian forest with his arms and legs hacked off.
It is very likely that they would be used for rituals.
Yohana's mother is still in hospital recuperating from matchet cuts during the abduction. His sister and brother who are albinos are currently under police protection.
The United Nation's human rights chief, Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein condemned the killing and asked that Tanzanian government do something to curb these killings which are on the increase.
An albino girl who was abducted in December is yet to be found.
