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.

The UN has since declared parts of the country no-go zones.
