Five people have been arrested in north-western Tanzania for killing a nine-year-old albino girl

Police commander of Kahama district Shaibu Mohamed said the attackers broke down the door to her home and dragged her outside and cut her throat. They chopped off her lower legs and some hair which they made off with. About 30 albinos have been killed in Tanzania in 2008, their parts wanted by witchdoctors for "get rich" potions.
