An 11-year-old albino girl from Swaziland was shot dead in front of her friends and then beheaded in what police believe was a ritual murder.
The child had been washing clothes and bathing at a river with friends and was returning home when she was grabbed by a man wearing a balaclava.
As her friends looked on, the man shot her in the back before dragging her away. Her headless body was found upriver a short time later.
The murder is the latest in a series of albino killings in Sub-Saharan Africa, where sufferers of the rare skin pigmentation condition are concentrated.

Africa will always be a backwards place until they get rid of their feudal overlords, the chiefs by day and the chiefs by night.

I’m never going to get used to this “cultural diversity” bull****.

Think this will be prosecuted as a hate crime?

The west would still be like that had it not been for the rise of Christianity. The west will become increasingly more like that as Christianity is rejected.

Stated more succinctly - Africa will always be a backwards place.

No, the nutty ‘culturally equal’ practice of witchcraft in that area of the world uses albinos only... white people’s body parts don’t ‘work’...

On his head? Must have truly been a sight!
That said, I think he should have been shot for pure stupidity!
Poor child, it’s heart breaking to hear these things. Another reason that Africa is and will always be a third world continent.
