Investigating Illegal Trade in Human Body Parts

With many families left traumatised by killings apparently linked to supposed magic rituals in Sierra Leone, BBC Africa Eye looks into those behind the trade in human body parts. The mother of 11-year-old Papayo, who was murdered four years ago, is still seeking justice as authorities neglect such ritual killings. Undercover investigations revealed juju practitioners openly discussing their trade, with claims of connections to influential clients. Sierra Leone’s challenges, including a lack of resources and deep-rooted beliefs in witchcraft, hinder efforts to combat these crimes.
