A court in Malawi has handed down the death sentence to three men who were found guilty of murdering a child with albinism. The trio killed the child and cut off his limbs before burying his torso in a shallow grave.

People with albinism are regular targets for ritual killers who hunt them like prey and use the body parts for spiritual potions. They believe such potions can make them rich and successful in their jobs.
