Malawi’s President Peter Mutharika has said he will not institute the death penalty against those found guilty of killing people living with albinism in his country.
Malawi24 reports Mutharika to say that his government would instead ensure that those found guilty of crimes committed against albinos would be handed life sentences.
There have been numerous calls for a re-introduction of the death penalty for those found guilty of killing albinos in the southern African nation.
“Anyone who will be found killing people with albinism should know and expect life imprisonment if apprehended,” Mutharika was quoted as saying.
