Okello is expected to be formally charged with the murder of four children and the attempted murder of two others who are currently receiving treatment in different health facilities.
A 39-year-old man accused of killing four toddlers at a kindergarten in Ggaba has been arraigned before court amid heavy security deployment.
Christopher Okello Onyum has been presented before Makindye Chief Magistrate’s Court under tight guard by UPDF operatives and police detectives. The heightened security follows chaotic scenes at the crime scene, where an angry mob attempted to lynch him but were overpowered by police.
Okello is expected to be formally charged with the murder of four children and the attempted murder of two others who are currently receiving treatment in different health facilities.
Police identified the deceased children as Eteku Gideon, aged two; Kaise Alungat, aged two; Ignatius Sserwange, aged three; and Ryan Odeke, aged two.
The tragic incident occurred at Ggaba Early Childhood Development Centre in Ggaba, sending shockwaves through the community and the country at large.
In response, the government ordered the immediate closure of the kindergarten, along with two affiliated institutions—a primary school and a secondary school—as investigations continue.
Authorities have urged the public to remain calm and allow the judicial process to take its course as the case unfolds.
