DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - Tanzanian police arrested two men accused of killing a 9-year-old boy and selling his skin for 20,000 shillings ($18) to make sorcerers' get-rich-quick charms, a senior officer said Friday.

Police said they arrested Martin Kalunga, 25, and his associate Nico Benson, 31, in Lilwa village in southern Tanzania Tuesday after neighbors overheard Benson accusing Kalunga of plotting with their buyer to skin him as well.

The identity of the buyer was unclear.

"The two were arrested after they had a loud quarrel, because Benson suspected Martin of colluding with their buyer to skin him," Suleiman Kova, police commander for the southern Mbeya region, told Reuters.

"During interrogation, Martin confessed that they were both skinners and that they had skinned a boy in Mbozi six months ago. They then threw his body into the river Jianga," Kova said.

"These cases are few but are very shocking," he said.

Kova said police expected to charge the pair once they had completed investigations into the identity of the victim, whose remains have not been found.

He said he was not aware of any report of a missing child that would match the description given by the suspects, but police were still making inquiries.

Human skins are used by witch doctors to make charms or potions designed to make their users rich, especially in southern Tanzania, renowned as a center for traditional sorcery.

Police say the once rampant practice has decreased significantly in recent years due to tougher action by the authorities, describing this as the first suspected skinning case in southern Tanzania since April 2004.

Kova said there were three reported cases of skinning in 2003 and 14 suspects have been arrested since April last year in relation to various skinning cases, although providing evidence of skin removal is often difficult.

"We have to find a body and do a post mortem to have a good case," Kova said.

Killing a kid for 18 bucks. How fucking sad is that? Not just murdering him, but skinning him. This lunacy of religion has got to go. If people knew that magic didn't work, spells, charms, and all that other shit were just bunk, you wouldn't see people killing each other like this.

Of course, these are the same kinds of people who rape infants to cure themselves of AIDS, and HIV.

This is exactly why a plague is needed, to bring about equilibrium, and enlightenment.

The practice of satanism with human and animal sacrifices is rampant all over the world. Whether it works or not, who is to say? The point is these evil doers believe that it does.

That's just it. Satanism, and all those other bunk religions where they derive power from the suffering and blood of innocents, is just a bunch of horseshit.

The fact that these deluded morons believe in it, is why I totally believe that the stupid, and insane should be sterilized for the good of humanity. We can't have stupid people running everything, especially government.
