At least six people have been killed in what is suspected to be a ritual killing, in the capital of Zambia Lusaka in the past four weeks.

 According to the police, some body parts including heart, ears, and genitals had been removed.

Hundreds of people took to the streets hurling stones and breaking into shops owned by foreigners in Lusaka, accusing them of being involved in ritual killings.

But Police detained four suspects on Sunday for questioning on suspicion of carrying body parts that were being put through forensic tests to establish whether they belonged to humans.
