The Morning Call
The Police in Malawi have arrested up to 200 vigilante youth, who have been out hunting for ‘vampires’ in the country.
Since September, nine people have been killed in a series of mob attacks over vampire rumours that sparked off in Southern Malawi.
In Blantyre, Malawi’s second largest city, a 22-year old man was stoned and burned to death over a week ago.
Medics in Malawi have said there is no truth or clinical evidence that blood suckers or vampires exist.
The UN has since declared parts of the country no-go zones.
