A child looks through the window of a house in Rugazi, Uganda, belonging to a leader of a cult called the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments, 330 of whose members were discovered burned to death a week earlier at another compound in what was first thought to be an act of suicide. Further discoveries of mass graves revealed that they had been murdered, and brought the death toll to 778. The five principal cult leaders, if they survived, were never caught.
