Justice Alice Komuhangi Khaukha the trial judge in the murder case involving juveniles on April 2, 2026, has found Christopher Okello Onyum guilty of the brutal murder of four toddlers at the Ggaba Early Childhood Development Centre.
The verdict, delivered during a high-stakes mobile court session held near the scene of the crime, dismissed Okello’s defense of insanity and “spiritual possession,” marking a pivotal moment in one of the most harrowing criminal cases in Uganda’s recent history.
Justice Komuhangi ruled that there was no medical or credible evidence to support Okello’s claim that he was mentally incapacitated on April 2, 2026, the day he used a sharp object to end the lives of Ryan Odeke, Keisha Agenorwoth Otim, Gideon Eteku, and Ignatius Sseruyange.
Okello was convicted on all four counts of murder.
