The laborers unearthed 73 bod ies, including two dozen children and babies, from the field belong ing to a defrocked Catholic priest who was one of the sect leaders. The grim discovery brings the number of cult-related deaths that police have confirmed to 562 since a March 17 fire in a makeshift church. Two other compounds in south western Uganda belonging to the sect remained to be examined. James Bangirana, a local police of ficial, said late Monday that he wasn’t certain that all the bodies of sect victims had been found. Some of the bodies recovered Monday bore stab wounds and others had pieces of cloth wrapped tightly around their throats. They appeared to have been dead at least a month, said Dr. Ben Twetegire. The prisoners, shirtless and shoeless, stood head-high in the trench, sweating and digging un der a glaring midday sun as they worked to unearth the bodies. They covered their noses in gauze and passed cigarettes among themselves to try to ward off the en veloping stench, which drifted for hundreds of yards across lush hill sides overlooking a series of vol canic lakes. Onlookers and police plucked leaves from a cypress tree and thrust them into their nostrils to ease the stench. As the twisted bodies were hoisted from the reddish brown earth, villagers pressed against the crude wood fence at the edge of the cane field. But there were no screams of recognition. The bodies were ap parently those of strangers — sect members who came for seminars on righteous li ving and the end of the world from former priest Do minic Kataribabo, a leader in the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God. The bodies, some of them dis membered and one visibly preg nant, were examined for little Greek awards continued from page 1A sensus was that we really saw that our Greek system was ahead of everybody else,” she said. Gao and sophomore business major Jackie Sias, president of Chi Omega, said they were amazed to see that some other Greek systems around the coun try have never even heard of se curity guards at functions or many other issues that are taken as a given in the University’s Greek system. “We’re very far ahead in the more than a minute each by Twetegire, who dictated his hor rific notes to Medal Magdalene, a 30-year-old health worker. Prison ers then picked up the bodies and flung them into a nearby trench for re-burial. Standing next to the doctor, Magdalene’s list went on and on: Body No. 38. Young male. Largely decomposed. Body No. 39. Young female. Badly decomposed. External signs of violence. Police inspector Chris Tindi garukayo said authorities didn’t wait for forensics experts to exam ine the bodies before re-burial be cause they feared the spread of disease. The cursory examinations came as the Ugandan government an nounced it had created a team of in vestigators, supposedly to examine the bodies found in Rugazi and re exhume corpses found elsewhere. The team, which includes chemists, a pathologist and foren sic experts, would be heading into the interior in the next day or so, police spokesman Eric Naigambi said by telephone from Kampala, Uganda’s capital. After Rugazi, the team was to go to the village of Buhunga, where they will re-exhume 153 bodies of sect members found there last week in mass graves, quickly examined by a local doctor and re-buried. Terenzi Kingera, a regional offi cer with Uganda’s criminal inves tigation division, said the doctor had been “overwhelmed” by the job, so the corpses needed to be re examined. Kingera said the investigators’ main goal would be figuring out “how could so many people be killed. Were they poisoned and with which kind of poison?” The investigation has been plagued by logistical problems since it began. Police are ill trained and desperately ill-fund ed, often without vehicles or fuel to power them. Senior Ugandan officials, meanwhile, have quoted witness es as saying the sect’s two top lead ers — Cledonia Mwerinde, 40, and Joseph Kibweteere, 68—may have left Kanungu on March 17, the same day a church fire there killed 330 members. way that we’re handling our func tions and our means of security," Sias said. Council President Dave Gor man, a senior majoring in politi cal science, said University stu dents went to the conference hoping, but not expecting, to bring home some awards. The Interfratemity Council was also one of three finalists for the Jellison Award, which honors best overall excellence. “I think it’s a great honor,” Gor man said. “It gave us recognition for our positive programs. It was kind of an eye-opening experi ence.” SUMMER JOBS!
