Albino teen found dismembered in Burundi

A 15-YEAR-OLD albino boy has been found dismembered in Burundi a week after going missing, the first such killing in the country in three years, a local albino group said today. Albinos, who have white skin and yellow hair as a result of a genetic disorder that causes the absence of pigmentation, are killed regularly in some African countries for their body parts, which are used in witchcraft rituals.
