Uganda kindergarten murderer sentenced to death

Christopher Okello Onyum, a Ugandan-American man, was sentenced to death on April 30, 2026, for stabbing four young children at a kindergarten in Kampala. The children, aged 15 months to two-and-a-half years, were killed in an attack that horrified the nation. Although Onyum confessed to the crime, he pleaded not guilty in court, but the judge rejected his insanity claim, emphasizing the pre-planned nature of the murders.
