*Witch doctors convince the rich that 'sacrifices' will increase their wealth

*Businessmen pay them 'thousands of pounds' to mutilate young children

*They are left to die after their genitals are removed, their heads sliced open 

*Number of atrocities 'expected to rise' due to upcoming Ugandan elections

'Hundreds' of Ugandan children are being sacrificed every year by witch doctors who have convinced the country's superstitious elite that mutilating them will make them even richer.

Shockingly, these 'gruesome crimes against children' are 'expected to rise' with the 2016 Ugandan elections fast approaching.

Wealthy businessmen are paying traditional healers 'thousands of pounds' to hunt down impoverished children and harvest their body parts, which they believe can cure impotence and boost their fertility, a children's charity told MailOnline.

These witch doctors sever limbs and remove their genitals after snatching them on the way home from school or as they go to fetch water for their family. Their dismembered remains are later discovered in forests and building sites.
