In the past two weeks, police have found 18 bodies dumped around the streets, all mutilated. They were missing body parts ranging from eyes, to breasts, to hair -- and more. The killings, linked to cult rituals have triggered panic in Yaounde, the capital city of Cameroon with over two million people. State security officials say that most of the bodies found were high school students, and that a number of suspects have been arrested in the case, but so far nobody has been charged. Until the 1970s, ritual killings were a common culture practice until education became more widespread. There have also been many complaints from relatives of the deceased that their bodies are mutilated, and that they won't be able to properly bury them. These killings have affected everyone in a very negative way and I hope that it is stopped before it gets too out of hand.

That's horrific! I can't believe that people would do that to those high school students and just leave them in the streets.
