Albinos in Tanzania Are Killed 'Like Animals' So Their Body Parts Can Be Used In Witchcraft (PHOTOS)

Mtobi Namigambo had gone to work for the day when his then 3-month-old son, May Mosi, was attacked.

"I had gone to the lake to fish. They were all alone in the house when the attackers struck," Namigambo told BBC. "My wife jumped out of the window and ran to safety with May, leaving the two children behind, who were not harmed at all."

"After jumping out of the window, they still came after me and I was screaming for help," Namigambo's wife, Sabina, said. "They only backed off when I woke up the neighbors."

Namigambo lives on Ukerewe Island, which used to be a sanctuary for albinos. His four-year-old son, May Mosi, has albinism.
