Interview with the Police Officer in Xinavane District, Maputo Province LDH: We would like to talk about the child’s case. Police: [...] they had found a body of a child in the Tsatsimbe River. [...] It was late afternoon. We had some difficulties like transportation, [...] we went there and […] we saw that it was a body of a child. The body was taken from the water […]. Then we tried to follow the story and we found out that it was a boy that was going to a house to watch a movie. When he went back home and entered his house, someone, who was already following him, grabbed him and pulled him out of the house. He killed him and threw his body into the water. [...] LDH: Was that when you arrived there to see the body? Police: Yes. […] We saw that the body had been opened, didn’t have the heart and didn’t have almost all the organs. [...] Then the Police worked and managed to arrest a suspect. LDH2: Regarding the child’s case, do you know the destiny of the organs? The reason why they extracted the organs? Police: No. We didn’t find the organs. They were already gone.
