After a spate of killings, police in Mozambique are warning about the use of bald men for money rituals.

In one case, the head of a bald man was cut off and his organs removed in what the police suspect to be a case of rituals. That is because, the killings have happened in a part of the country where albinos have previously been hunted for the body parts for rituals.
