Albino girl rescued after uncle tried to sell her to witchdoctors(Photo)

This little albino girl own uncle tried to sell her to a
witch doctor for thousands of dollars so she could
be hacked to death and her body parts used to
make a potion to bring the rich and powerful luck.
Margareth Khamis was snatched from the home she
shares with her mother and three siblings in
northernTanzania by a masked gang in the middle of
the night last week.
Mailonline reports that ,the kidnapping sparked a
frantic search by the villagers, who tried to follow
the gang through the bush without luck.
An entire albino body has been known to fetch
£50,000 ($75,000) on the black market.
But unlike many other children with ablinism, luck
was on the six-year-old’s side: local police heard a
man was looking to sell a little girl for an
undisclosed sum which could have run into the tens
of thousands. Had he been successful, it is likely
Margareth would not have been seen again.
Instead, the police set up a sting, and pretended to
be a potential customer.
Jume Bwire, the acting Tabora regional police
commander, said:
‘After we had received the information our
officers immediately put our trap and were
able to arrest the man red-handed.’
Shockingly, the man they arrested was
Margareth’s 44-year-old uncle. Thankfully, she
was unharmed and was quickly reunited with her
family.
Margareth’s mother Joyce Mwandu, who also has
albinism, was relieved to have her young daughter
back.
