He did not say whether the missing children were albinos.
But he added: "We have already identified some of the suspects and we will soon take action against
them." Women with red eyes are also vulnerable to attack. They are often accused of being witches and
are killed in farming and fishing communities along the shores of Lake Victoria...'
