An investigation into the disturbing murder case which highlights the dark side of the traditional African spiritual practice known as Muti. Nelson Mandela has made an impassioned appeal to those who might know the killers to pass on information to the police. Also on the programme: the scandal about sexual abuse in the American Roman Catholic Church grows; tensions between Muslims and Hindus remain high after intercommunal violence in Gujarat and a discovery of mass graves in Bamyan, Afghanistan lend credibility to claims that the Taliban carried out massacres of Hazaras.
