MacDonald Masambuka went missing in February 2018 and when his body was discovered a month later, the legs and arms had been removed.
The 22-year-old man had albinism, which affects the production of melanin - the pigment that gives eyes, skin and hair its colour.
Over the past decade, Malawi has experienced gruesome attacks and killings of persons with albinism, fuelled by false beliefs that concoctions mixed with their body parts bring luck and wealth.
According to official statistics, more than 170 albinos have been killed or maimed since 2014.
The convictions at the High Court in Blantyre are the first of prominent members of society linked to the attacks.
They are to be sentenced at a later hearing.
