MANGOCHI, Malawi
Three men residents of
Mangochi township in Malawi have been sentenced to 155 years in prison each for
killing Saidi Dayton, a person with albinism.
The three are James Khang’a,
Sumaili Nikisi and Gayesi Katupe, all from Kadewere Village, TA Chowe in
Mangochi.
They killed Dayton on 5
January 2021.
High Court Judge Mzondi Mvula
in Mangochi has sentenced the three to 68 and a half years for murder, 48 and a
half years for extracting human tissues and 38 and a half years for trafficking
a person with an intention of harming him.
The sentences, however, will
run concurrently and start from the time the three were arrested, which means
each of the convicts will spend 67 and a half years in prison.
In April, 12 people were
convicted of offences relating to the murder of person with albinism MacDonald
Masambuka.
The convicts included Catholic
Priest Fr. Thomas Muhosha, Police Officer Chikondi Chileka, deceased’s
biological brother Kassim White Masambuka and Machinga district Clinical
Officer Lumbani Kamanga were among the persons convicted on different charges
such as murder, causing someone to commit a crime, causing another person to
harm a person and transacting human tissues.
