Three people slapped with death sentence for killing albino

The High Court sitting in Mchinji has today given death penalties to three convicts who were found guilty for murdering a person with albinism and apparently chopping off both his hands and legs in August 2015.

The three Douglas Mwale, Sophie Jere, and Fontino Folosani murdered Priscott Pepuzani in a bush using a metal bar and a hoe handle and buried his body in the garden.

In her ruling, Judge Esmey Chombo said the death sentences have been made in order to send a strong message to other would-be offenders but also to put to stop such malpractices.
