Serious Outbreak
Of Witch Killings
Kampala, Uganda, Mar. 24.
The biggest outbreak of witch killings ever known among the primitive Suk tribe, who wander with their cattle in the inhospitable Karamoja country, in northeast Uganda, has resulted in more than 100 tribesmen being arrested.
Investigations by the police are still going on in this sparsely-populated area, and the latest count shows that eleven killings of witches have been confirmed out of a total of 22 reports received.
Of the eleven, three are be-j Hieved, to be the work of one
man.
Witch-killings have broken out at intervals throughout the known history of the Suk tribe. They usually occur in one's and two's, when relatives, of people who have died as a result ot being "bewitched" avenge
the honour by killing the sus- family pected "witch" in the traditional, fitual manner.
The victim is tied hand and and forced to kneel on the ground and beaten with small, extremely thorny, twigs undi death occurs, efter after many hours.
Then the avengers" kill the favourite bull of the "witch," and have a feast, which is oc- cepted as the only way to lay the spirit completely.
Reports of the killings started filtering through to the local police headquarters at Morato months ago, and gradually in- creased in mumber. To investi- gate them, police parties toured hundreds of miles of country questioning the primitive tribes- men In most cases, they had no dificulty in finding a lead. since the avengers freely ad mitted what they had done,

GAOL FULL
The result is that Moroto gaol is now full of alleged witch-killers, while the hard-worked police are spending long hours prepar- cases against them under the laws of Uganda, To try the men, a special session of the High Court of Uganda bas had to be arranged to take place at Moroto.
