Suffer the Children (2) (11x4)


: 04, 2007

The police investigation came under added pressure when a teenager was reported missing. When a raid on a witch doctor’s house turned up nothing, the community was up in arms at what they saw as harassment. In the end, Leo found that, unknown to Pastor Lambo, the boys were killed by the church caretakers, who sold their organs for use as Muti charms. He realised that it was Dr Falase, a surgeon and prominent community spokesperson, who brought them into the country for use in her clinic as kidney donors. She had then left the boys in the care of the caretakers, who knew they wouldn’t be missed.
