He connived with three other men to abduct the boy but communities at Nyambi area in the district became suspicious and apprehended them few kilometers before crossing over into Mozambique.

Zulu ‘s case is still in court as the boy was handed to his mother who said could not understand his husband’s lust for cash.

The brother tipped his mother about Paipi’s intention and the mother in turn tipped members of community policing who apprehended Paipi and later handed him to police at Ntaja.

In 2915 a two year old boy with albinism was abducted and is still missing at Sub Traditional Authority Mchinguza area in Machinga.mana
