BBC Missing organs in Kenya cult case - police 19 May 2023

　…移植に使えるわけでもなかろう、そんなことあるかなあと思ったら―魔術用途があり得るな。

「A court document filed by police investigating Kenya cult deaths says autopsies showed some organs were missing from bodies exhumed from shallow graves.

"Post-mortem reports have established missing organs in some of the bodies of victims who have been exhumed," chief inspector Martin Munene said in an affidavit filed to a Nairobi court.

It said that “it is believed that trade on human body organs has been well co-ordinated involving several players”.」

　しかし政府の検視官の報告では、112遺体にそんな痕跡はなかったよ、とのこと。一安心。

「But chief government pathologist Johansen Oduor had earlier ruled out organ harvesting following autopsies on 112 bodies in his final report on Friday.

Interior minister Kithure Kindiki said on Tuesday that “on the issue of missing body parts theory, I think investigations are still going on… I’m advised by the experts that we should not pre-empt the investigations…it’s a theory we are investigating”.」

　いやまあ、まずは調査中という事で。
