Eight individuals from a Tanzanian restorative foundation have been captured after 85 sacks holding body parts were found in the port city of Dar es Salaam.

Dar es Salaam police boss Suleiman Kova said those captured have connections to the city's Institute of Medical and Training University (IMTU).

Inhabitants said they got to be suspicious after a truck over and over dumped dark plastic sacks weighing more or less 25kg (55lb) each.
