Find in Uganda
Shrine operator allegedly sacrificed people
24 human skulls have been discovered at a shrine in Uganda. The police had received a tip-off from local residents and searched the shrine in Nateete as a result.
The skulls were lying on the ground. The owner was arrested on Monday and is cooperating with the authorities, said a police spokesperson. During interrogation, the man said he was a traditional healer. This is now being investigated. The searches will also continue.
The shrine owner is being investigated under a 2020 law banning human sacrifice. It provides for long prison sentences and even the death penalty in some cases.
Another case in July
In July, police had already found 17 skulls in a chamber under a suspected shrine in Mpigi, west of Kampala. In this case too, it is still unclear how the skulls ended up where they were found. The police have arrested a suspect and are investigating.
