Witch doctor helps police
NZPA-AFP Lusaka
A witch doctor has helped the police to trace two kidnapped children, according to a Lusaka police officer.
One of the children, aged 13, was stolen nine years ago, and his parents had declared him dead.
The witch doctor, who was consulted by the parents of the second child, allegedly traced the stolen children through a glance in his “magic mirror,” the police commandant, Godfrey Mukuma, said.
The thieves were a married couple, who took the children to Mumbwa in a remote area west of Lusaka where they raised them as their own.
