The High Court in Mbeya has sentenced four people to death for killing an albino teenager, Henry Mwakajila, 17 in 2008. Judge Samweli Karua ruled that the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that the four committed murder but acquitted one suspect, Mawazo Philemon. The convicted killers are Asangalwisye Kayuni, Gerald Korosso Kalonge, Leornad Msalage Mwakisole and Hakimu Mselem Mwakalinga. The state said on February 5, 2008 between 6 and 7 PM at Ilolo village in Rungwe district, the quartet kidnapped and killed Mwakajila who was a student at Ukukwe Secondary School. During the proceedings it was revealed by witnesses that the suspects Kayuni and Mwakisole were found with body parts which were confirmed by Chief Government Chemist to be Henry's. Kayuni was found with intestine while Mwakisole had four fingers and ten bones. Until now, a total of 15 albino killers are sentenced to death although none of them have already prosecuted. The deputy minister for Home Affairs, Pereira Ame Silima, told MPs in Dodoma that the President Kikwete is yet to sign for the capital punishment of people with albinism.
