30Murder.http://youtu.be/2LjdBsT0tkE
31Legally speaking, it is the act of causing someone's death or taking someone's life.
32It is thus thought of as a homicide - a premeditated act. And ritual murder?Nisy ny fihetsiketsehana nokasaina natao tamin'ny 13 avril saingy :
33It is a murder that is committed on the basis of a certain practices, whether they be traditional or religious, cultural or mystical. In all cases, ritual murder is committed in order to use part of the organs of a human body for sacrificial purposes or simply for ritualistic ones.Nohajaina tao Libreville ny tsy fandraisan'ny minisitry ny atitany gaboney, Jean François Ndongou, ny fangatahana hanao fihetsiketsehana milamina nalefan'ny Fikambanana manohitra ny famonoan'olona ara-pomba amam-panao (ALCR) sy ireo «Gaboney ao amin'ny Aterineto» izay nokasaina natao tamin'ny 13 Aprily 2013 lasa teo.
34Manoloana izany fandàvana izany, nanao fihetsiketsehana ireo am-pielezana (diaspora) :
35This, unfortunately, according to some citizens commenting on the issue, is the practice that some people engage in to become rich. Their main guides in this venture: marabouts [traditional Islamic religious leaders] and witch-doctors - each to his own (paradoxically, the same person will often play both the role of the marabout and that of the witch-doctor).Herinandro taorian'ny fihetsiketsehana nataon ‘ireo Gaboney ao Lyon izay nidradradradra hoe «tsia amin'ny famonoan'olona ara-pomba amam-panao», nanao torak'izany ihany koa ny tao Paris sy Kanada izay naneho ny fanohanany ireo fianakaviana marobe nisaona ary nanararaotra nisarika ny sain'ireo manampahefana gaboney izay toa tsy mba taitra manoloana izany tranga-javatra izany ary mitady hampiditra ny fomba ao anatin'ny «mety» sy «loza tsotra».
36They might seek to use the head, the tongue, the sexual organs, nails … the heart or the hair of the human witch-doctor - maybe of a woman, maybe of a boy - all to prepare the magic … potion.Manoloana izany korontana izany, nanome alalana ny Fikambanana Manohitra ny Famonoan'olona ara-pomba amam-panao (ALCR) ihany ny governemanta nony farany (ALCR), mba hanao fihetsiketsehana milamina ao andrenivohitra Gaboney amin'ny 11 mey hoavy izao.
37The organs of albinos and handicapped people are the most often coveted.Tsy i Gabon irery no ahitana famonoan'olona ara-pomba amam-panao, fa ny Afrika mainty rehetra izay voakasik'ity vono olona ara-pomba amam-panao ity.
