Police in Malawi have arrested a 24 year
old man after he tried to sell the freshly
cut man-hood from a 45 year old. Officers
in the central Lakeshore District of Salima say
they responded to a report of a man lying
bleeding and unconscious next to railway tracks
on Tuesday. But when the man was admitted to
hospital, doctors were shocked to discover his
man-hood was missing, local media reported.
Salima police chief Foster Mangani said hours
later, police were called to a local motel where
the owner reported a guest had tried to sell her a
man-hood for US$360.
"We rushed to the lodge and arrested the
suspect. We also recovered the private parts,"
Mangani was quoted as saying by the Nyasa
Times newspaper. Police have named the
suspect as Samuel Banda, whose picture was
published in the newspaper along with what
looked like a severed man-hood wrapped in
white paper. Police said Banda had admitted
selling "many body parts to well known business
personalities". Many locals believe human parts
can bring riches, and unscrupulous businessmen
and witchdoctors pay thousands of kwachas to
poor locals to kill people and mutilate their
bodies. The Nyasa Times reports that the victim
was intercepted by Banda as he walked home
after a drinking bender. His condition is
described as "serious" by staff at the local
hospital.
