Tanzanian journalist Vicky Ntetema has won an international award for her BBC reports on the murder of albinos.
The International Women's Media Foundation gave her a Courage in Journalism Award for her investigation.
"I am surprised but not happy," Ms Ntetema told the BBC, saying that a four-year-old boy with albinism had recently been killed.
Some Tanzanian witch doctors say magic potions made with albino body parts can bring good luck and wealth.
Some 53 people with albinism have been murdered in Tanzania in recent years, along with several others in neighbouring Burundi.
