APAM Expresses Anger Over the Release of Suspected Albino Killer “Father Thomas Muhosha”

Association of People with Albinism in Malawi (APAM) has expressed unhappiness of over court’s decision to release Father Thomas Muhosha, who is one of the suspects in the death of a person with albinism identified as McDonald Masambuka.

According to APAM, the release of the Roman Catholic Priest on Thursday is a clear indication of criminal justice failure in the country.

The Association further says it understands that the release of the priest has been fueled by some people in high positions to conceal two names of high profile figures whom the priest is alleged to have revealed while in custody.

“APAM has information that the Priest revealed two names of high profile figures who are the main master minders of attacks and trade of body parts of persons with albinism which the police are still concealing for reasons best known to themselves.We have also learnt that his release is also dubious and engineered by individuals of bad will to our nation,” says APAM.

The body of Masambuka was found on April 1 this year after the arrest of some suspects including a police officer from Nselema in Machinga.
