POLICE TO INVESTIGATE MORE CULT DEATHS

UGANDAN police will this week begin searching for more bodies in the home of a leader of the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God cult, a police spokesman said on Wednesday. “We are planning to go to a house at Namasuba in Kampala. There is some suspicion about it and we have picked an interest. Though we can’t say when we will begin digging, it looked suspicious and we hope to go soon,” Asuman Mugenyi said. The house was rented by Father Dominic Kataribaabo, one of six cult leaders who is being held responsible for the deaths of at least 780 cult followers. At least 330 people were killed in a fire at the cult headquarters in Kanungu on March 17.
