In northern Burundi, unidentified assailants have killed a 6-year-old albino boy, hacking off his arms and legs in front of his parents

The killers then made off with the body parts. Police say the body parts will probably be sold in Tanzania, where they can fetch large amounts of money for use by witch doctors. The killing is the eighth murder of an albino in Burundi in recent months.
