Jesus Take The Wheel: Witch Doctors Practice Child Sacrifice
As if their “kill the gays” bill wasn’t bad enough, Uganda is now at the center of a BBC investigation into human sacrifice which has uncovered findings that ritual killing of children is much more common in the country than authorities have been willing to admit. Keep reading for the lurid details

One witch-doctor led us to his secret shrine and said he had clients who regularly captured children and brought their blood and body parts to be consumed by spirits.

Meanwhile, a former witch-doctor who now campaigns to end child sacrifice confessed for the first time to having murdered about 70 people, including his own son.

The Ugandan government told us that human sacrifice is on the increase, and according to the head of the country’s Anti-Human Sacrifice Taskforce the crime is directly linked to rising levels of development and prosperity, and an increasing belief that witchcraft can help people get rich quickly.
