This little albino girl own uncle tried to sell her
to a witch doctor for thousands of dollars so
she could be hacked to death and her body parts
used to make a potion to bring the rich and
powerful luck.
Margareth Khamis was snatched from the home
she shares with her mother and three siblings in
northern Tanzania by a masked gang in the
middle of the night last week .
Mailonline reports that ,the kidnapping sparked
a frantic search by the villagers, who tried to
follow the gang through the bush without luck.
An entire albino body has been known to fetch
£50,000 ($75,000) on the black market.
But unlike many other children with ablinism,
luck was on the six-year-old's side: local police
heard a man was looking to sell a little girl for
an undisclosed sum which could have run into
the tens of thousands. Had he been successful,
it is likely Margareth would not have been seen
again.
Instead, the police set up a sting, and pretended
to be a potential customer.
Jume Bwire, the acting Tabora regional police
commander, said:
'After we had received the information our
officers immediately put our trap and were
able to arrest the man red-handed.'
Shockingly, the man they arrested was
Margareth's 44-year-old uncle. Thankfully, she
was unharmed and was quickly reunited with her
family.
Margareth's mother Joyce Mwandu, who also
has albinism, was relieved to have her young
daughter back.
