When the man was admitted to hospital, the doctors were shocked to discover that his manhood was missing. Foster Mangani, the Salima police said hours later, the police called to a local motel where the owner reported a guest had tried to sell her a penis for US$360.
“We rushed to the lodge and arrested the suspect. We also recovered the private parts,” Mangani was quoted as saying by the Nyasa Times newspaper. Police have named the suspect as Samuel Banda, whose picture was published in the newspaper along with what looked like a severed penis wrapped in white paper.
Banda admitted selling “many body parts to well known business personalities”, the police said. Many locals believe human parts can bring riches, unscrupulous businessmen and witchdoctors pay thousands of kwachas to poor locals to kill people and mutilate their bodies. The victim was intercepted by Banda as he walked home after drinking bender. His condition is described as “serious” by staff at the local hospital.
