Ugandan healers and wizards sacrifice children in ritual rain to save themselves from the drought.
The African country is facing one of the biggest droughts of the last 50 years; famine affects more than 1.5 million people, writes the Religion News Service. Many of the local people believe that spirits take the rain with them.
In September alone, law enforcement agencies arrested 44 people suspected of having committed ritual killings. One of the detainees confirmed that he had killed eight children.
In 2015, the remains of seven children and six adults were found in 2016 - seven children and two adults. The bodies found had no ears, teeth, lips and genitals.
Police believe there are far more victims for rituals, bodies have not been found yet.
