minus-squarealleycat@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·23 days agoThe child had albinism. There are known cases in other African countries where people with albinism have been killed and their bodyparts been used for “witchcraft” purposes. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_people_with_albinism) But it took a turn when prosecutors alleged that Smith sold her daughter to a traditional healer, who was interested in her eyes and fair complexion. I think that implies that the child was literally butchered and its bodyparts sold.

minus-squareBort@hilariouschaos.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·23 days agoIt looks like the kid might have been sold to harvest her skin and eyes…. There’s a good chance she isn’t alive.
