"Mass Grave" In Uganda, one day the bodies belonging to members of the Restoration of the Ten Commandments Church stacked in a mass grave behind the former priest's house were removed, counted, then buried again. Two days later, authorities ordered prisoners to dig up the same bodies again so that a pathologist could examine them. The doctor took tissue samples to test for poison, noting cuts on some bodies, cords around the necks of others. They appeared to have been dead less than a month, he said, judging by the color gone from skin.
