A new superstitious belief has emerged in some areas of Mozambique – that bald men have gold in their head.
However, the head has to be taken to a witchdoctor who will use magical powers to extract the gold – and make them rich.
As a result, police say five bald men have been killed in central Mozambique – two in May in Milange district, close to the border with Malawi, and three this month in Morrumbala district.
Two young people have so far been arrested over the killings.
Mozambique police spokesman Inacio Dina said a team had been sent to the remote region to investigate the murders. -BBC
