Ugandan man sentenced to de@th for k!lling four Nursery School Children after searching “ISIS Beheadings” online

A Ugandan man has been sentenced to de@th for the k!lling of four Nursery School Children at a kindergarten last month.

Christopher Okello Onyum, 38, was convicted by the High Court in Kampala after judges found him guilty of murd£ring the children during the 2 April incident at the Ggaba Early Childhood Development Programme.

Onyum reportedly gained entry into the nursery by posing as a parent before locking the gate and carrying out the attack, which lasted less than seven minutes. He was arrested at the scene shortly after the attack.

Prosecutors told the court that Onyum had allegedly admitted to carrying out the k!llings, claiming they were part of a “human sacrifice” intended to make him wealthy.

The court also heard that Onyum had searched “schools near me” and “ISIS beheadings” on his mobile phone and laptop prior to the incident, which the judge said indicated preparation.

At the trial, he denied intentional wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty, arguing instead that he was suffering from mental illness at the time of the incident and, therefore, incapable of forming the intent to kill.
