Since 2014, Malawi has seen more than 170 cases of gruesome murder, harassment and violence directed toward people living with albinism.

They were all charged with murder, extracting human tissues, causing harm to a person with a disability, and trafficking in persons.

The incident took place in 2018 when Masambuka went missing in March and his body was later found buried in April 2018.

The high court is expected to issue a ruling on May 30.
