Two men were sentenced to 20 years in prison for cutting off a nine-year-old boy's testicles, penis and eyes to sell to a Malawian witchdoctor, Mozambican state radio reported Thursday.

One of the men was the boy's uncle, who lured him with crackers to go rat-hunting in woods near the Malawi border, while the accomplice hid nearby, the court sentence read.

One attacker covered the youth's mouth while the other hit him on the chest with a rock. They then cut off his organs and left him for dead, while one took the body parts in a bag to a middleman in Malawi, where they hoped to sell the flesh for about 560 dollars (400 euros).

The boy was discovered alive the next day and taken to hospital in Malawi.

"The crime they committed was horrible. The court condemns them to 20 years' imprisonment," judge Jorge Langa said, according to the radio report.

Many Mozambicans believe in witches who use human parts in remedies to cure diseases.

Yeah, all cultures are equal.

The title made me think the boy was the witch.

Sounds more like a Mozambiqan mugging. The guy didn't have a wallet or a watch, but they still found something with some value on the street.

$560 can buy 56 count of levofloxacin

Prayers for the little one. 20 years isn’t enough.

There are no words adequate to describe what I think of these sub-human waste.

Like Paul Harvey used to say, “It’s not one world.”

Coming to think of it, isn’t this what Jesse Jackson threatened to do to Baraq Hussein Obama Sr’s son ?

If the wife of some poor schlub had done this in the United States, there would be countless jokes and replies making light of it.

[BipolarBob]

I'll think of this at Diversity training and the respect for other cultures BS.

[GeronL]

wow.

CELEBRATE DIVERSITY!™

They also believe that sex with an infant cures AIDS.
Ignorant savages.

These animals do not qualify as human. Not by a long shot.

Fortunately, there is little chance they’ll survive 20 years in a Mozambique prison. And their lives will be horrific until they die.

Well it's witchcraft,
That crazy witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo...
