Malawi’s Rumphi boy in agony after losing his genitals

RUMPHI-(MaraviPost)-A ten year old boy is in a macabre situation at Rumphi District Hospital after an unidentified assailant removed his private parts and sped off.

According to one member of staff at the hospital, the boy met his fate when the murderer, who was riding a motorcycle, offered him a lift and attacked him barely after a short distance.

The boy was later discovered by passersby in a pool of blood, but without the said organs.

He was immediately rushed to the hospital where paramedics managed to stitch him up.

Meanwhile, Police in the district have launched a man hunt in order to catch the culprit.

Police further advise parents to sensitise their children about receiving assistance from strangers.

There is a superstition among some Malawians who believe in herbalists that genitalia is a luck charm.
