Revealed: Ritualists Now Target Bald Men, Believe That Their Heads Harbour Gold...Details


New revelation has shown that ritual killers now target men who have gone bald, believing that their heads harbour gold.

Police in Mozambique have warned that bald men could now be targets of ritual attacks after the recent killing of five men for their body parts.

The BBC reports that suspects have been arrested in the central district of Milange, in Mozambique, where some killings had occurred.

“The belief is that the head of a bald man contains gold,” said a police commander in Mozambique’s central Zambezia province, Afonso Dias.

Albino people have also been killed in the region for ritual purposes.

Three men have been killed in the past week alone.

The BBC reporter in the capital, Maputo, says police think the notion of a bald head containing gold is a ruse by witch doctors to get clients to take a person’s head to them.

“Their motive comes from superstition and culture, as the local community thinks bald individuals are rich,” Commander Dias is reported as having told a press conference in Maputo.

The suspects are two young Mozambicans aged around 20, the AFP news agency reports.

A regional security spokesman, Miguel Caetano, told AFP that one of the victims had his head cut off and his organs removed.

The organs were to be used in rituals to advance the wealth of clients in Tanzania and Malawi, Mr. Caetano said, citing the suspects.

There has been a spate of killings of people with albinism in East Africa in recent years, with their body parts used to make charms and potions by witch doctors.
