Four detained for killing children to sell organs in Mozambique – World

Mozambican police have arrested four people suspected of killing two children in order to sell their genitals in the city of Gurué, in the central Zambezia province, the corporation source said Monday.

“The suspects, one of whom was the stepfather of the two children, killed the minors using a kitchen knife and hid the bodies in the forest,” said Sidner Lonzo, spokesman for the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) in the province of Zambezia.

The two children, two boys aged 3 and 8, were reportedly killed a week ago by their stepfather, who would receive 12,000 meticais (162.5 euros) for the sale of his genitals, according to the authorities.

The body of the child under the age of 8 was found days later by a man in the woods, while the second was located by authorities after investigations.

PRM on Wednesday arrested the alleged principal, the intermediary, the stepfather and a friend of the family, who is assumed to be an accomplice.

“The principal detained in Zambézia has some contact with someone from Nampula [no norte de Moçambique], who is supposed to have asked for the organs. We are following the line of investigation to locate people, “he concluded.
