A Ugandan court has sentenced a man to death for murdering four children in a machete attack at a kindergarten in Kampala. The incident occurred on April 2, 2026, at the Gaba Early Childhood Development Program nursery school, sending shockwaves through the country.
The convicted murderer, whose identity has not been disclosed, was found guilty of killing the young children in a brutal assault that drew widespread condemnation. Police officers were seen at the crime scene shortly after the attack, which left the community in mourning.
Uganda has a history of imposing the death penalty for serious crimes, though executions are rarely carried out. The sentence was handed down on April 30, 2026, as reported by AFP. The case has reignited debates about child safety and justice in the East African nation.
