London, 21 September 2001. In the murky waters of the Thames, a passer-by discovers the lifeless body of a 5-year old African child. Its the arms, legs and head have been removed. For Scotland Yard, this discovery sparked the most intensive and most unusual murder investigation ever conducted. Information from a unique police unit, specialising in occult crimes, lead investigators to deduce that the boy had been sacrificed in a ritual murder of a type which, up to this, had been practised predominantly in southern Africa. These mysterious “muti” murders are an extreme form of occult belief: the body parts or blood of a killed person are ingested as a “muti medicine”, in order to grant another person health, power, wealth or strength. We follow Scotland Yard’s investigation and investigate the links between the historical, religious and criminological backgrounds to ritual murder.

Voodoo originated from Africa 🌍
I did a master degree on the black belief ,what is spoken here is correct
More is paid for a white child ,we look after our children for this reason
Muti murders happen here in South Africa we hear of it sometimes
29:58 😭 oh mom 😭😭😭😭😭
my late father in law was on the river police 40 years ago and was pulling these dismembered children out of the Thames back then
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Voodoo, Juju , basically Satanic
This wasn’t a Muti killing. Muti is South Africa this kid was Nigerian. Adam was a sacrifice to Oshun, the Yoruba river goddess.
Sickening 😢God has that child. You can't hurt anymore….human trafficking
It's interesting people are blaming these murders on "Godless people".. I am Christian, God fearing person, but I know that deaths carried out in God's name are insurmountable and so massive that numbers are not known.. Even if you don't believe in faiths of others around the world, respect they exist and that life is lost for all faiths.. Even yours!
Every Election year in Uganda children are kidnapped and used for ritual sacrifice, Every Election Year!
Thats why no body want them in their country
Oh it’s whiteys fault. Of course 😂😂😂
I thought "muti" was "multi" misspelled.
This is what happens when you let other nationalities overrun your country.
Still happening South Africa. African Albinos, light skinned mixed race children and white children are targets in Africa. Why? Because light skin is seen as power so will strong muti ‘potion’. Witchcraft is very much part of African culture
No, don't blame this on colonisation. This is purely an African problem.
Sacrificing Humans and animals for wealth and knowledge yet you Ignorant and poor, so sad ! So tired of innocent people getting killed and sacrificed by greed because it's all greed and hate
Take away God and they will find something to replace it.
This is just awful! I’m not interested in human sacrifice but I would be targeting a wealthy wicked adult for wealth. A poor child being sacrificed is a very dumb ass ridiculous thing to do. We need children and they are innocent and must be protected. I would never protect a wealthy grown ass man.
this must have been the founding facts behind the Silent Witness episode on imported ethnic ritual killings in London. One of the episodes that, in that time of cluelessness about the reality of eRthAniCciEty, I thought absolutely fantastical. I now know better. Culture matters and culture is absolutely tied to eRthAniCciEty. The polar bear can be taken out of the arctic but the arctic cannot be taken out of the polar bear…hence why zoos try their best to create arctic environments; similarly and purely zoologically speaking, the ape can be taken out of the jungle but the jungle cannot be taken out of the ape.
Lets do a documentary featuring Israeli S. trafficking and extensive child sacrifices and kidnapping in european countries
"Proper burial within his faith, if possible?" .. But it's the faith that's the problem. Not all religions are equal. Some are worse than others .. much worse.
that poor mother…. losing a child is awful enough but to have to watch the death and dismemberment…. idk how she's even sane anymore….I'm also incredibly impressed by this investigation. the amount of knowledge they sought and listening to the people of all beliefs respectfully without judgement to understand why this occurs… it's the best way to gain an understanding of these crimes
Sub saharan mean i.q is 59. The problem is not colonialism. The problem is not a lack of education, sanitation, medical care, etc., etc., etc. Its the mean i.q.
What if your wrong… British establishment like their Rituals don't they…..you know those creeps sat up high in office…
