AUgandan court has sentenced 39-year-old Christopher Okello Onyum to death for the brutal killing of four nursery school children in Kampala. The attack, which occurred earlier this month, has sparked widespread public outrage among citizens and raised significant concerns regarding the safety of young pupils in the region.

On April 2, Onyum carried out the attack at the nursery school, stabbing toddlers aged two and three until subdued by a security guard. Incriminating evidence found on Onyum's phone and laptop, including searches for 'ISIS beheading' and 'schools near me,' suggested the premeditation of the crime.


Despite Onyum's plea of not guilty by reason of mental illness, the judge dismissed this claim, citing the planned nature of the attack as evidence. The sentence illustrates Uganda's use of the death penalty for severe crimes, despite the last execution occurring two decades ago.
