Bald men have become the new target for ritualists in Mozambique who believe that their heads harbour gold.
BBC reports that at least 5 bald men have been killed and suspects have been arrested in the central district of Milange, in Mozambique, where some killings had occurred.
“The belief is that the head of a bald man contains gold,” said a police commander in Mozambique’s central Zambezia province, Afonso Dias.
Mozambique police spokesman Inacio Dina said a team had been sent to the remote region to investigate the murders:
“Our preliminary conclusion indicates that the phenomenon is due to cultural beliefs. We are currently investigating the case to find out more and to understand the dimension of the problem.
“The phenomenon can lead bald people to be pursued and killed. This is a serious homicide crime. Our current interest is to catch and hold responsible all those involved."
