Man caught planning to sell his albino children
A father who wanted to sell his three albino children was arrested in Mozambique while negotiating over the price, police have said.
The man and his brother were arrested in the western Tete province.
Albino people have been killed in the country for their body parts, which are for ritual purposes.
Police spokesman Luciano da Câmara said two supposed buyers are also under police custody.
He said the three children, aged 10, 13 and 16, were taken from their home and held in captivity while negotiations over their price were ongoing.
"The sale was to be made for over $39,100 (£32,400),” the police spokesman said.
“We took steps and located the two individuals in Angónia who confirmed plans for the deal," he added.
