Ugandan Witch Doctor Describes Dozens of Child Sacrifices

I heard a really powerful radio program on BBC about the experience of one witch doctor in Uganda. He describes his experiences from the ritual child sacrifice that began his career to the lynching of a colleague which ended it. Fascinating story.

People in Uganda have been horrified by an apparent increase in cases of human sacrifice in the country - not a throw-back to the past, but rather a result, many believe, of rising levels of development and prosperity.

Tim Whewell has been to Uganda for Crossing Continents to investigate why there are now more reports of ritual killings.

He hears some astonishingly frank confessions from those directly involved in murdering children, supposedly to satisfy evil spirits.
