The High Court has sentenced Christopher Okello Onyum to death after convicting him on four counts of murder at the Ggaba Early Childhood Development Day-care Centre.
In her judgment delivered today, Justice Alice Komuhangi Khaukha dismissed Okello’s claims that he was mentally ill at the time of the April 2, 2026 killings, ruling that his conduct before and during the attack reflected a person fully aware of his actions.
Upon convicting Okello, the general public clapped in agreement.
The judge noted that evidence presented in court showed Okello had behaved normally prior to the incident, contradicting assertions that he was suffering from a mental condition that would absolve him of criminal responsibility.
After listening from both prosecution and suspect’s lawyer, Justice Alice Komuhangi has sentenced to death to Okello
