]]> Tanzanian police have found the bodies of six of the ten children kidnapped from their homes in Tanzania last month.

They arrested one man who is believed to be a close relative of three of  the children, aged between two and nine years.

Four of the ten children kidnapped in Tanzania’s southwest area of Njomba  have been rescued.

They were taken while their parents were shopping at a night market.

Their abduction is linked to witchcraft.

Teeth, ears and privates  parts were removed.

This is not connected to the albino killings in Tanzania were body parts are sold in the belief that they pass good fortune to the possessors.

Police say they are both pursuing the perpetrators and are engaged in an education campaign persuading traditional healers not to deal in body  parts.
