Man Sentenced to Death for Stabbing Toddlers

0:00It's April 30th, I'm Cory with the story. This is Global News, driven by AI and built for a global audience. A 38-year-old man with Ugandan and U.S. citizenship just got sentenced to death by hanging for stabbing four toddlers to death at a nursery. In Kampala, Uganda's capital. On April 2nd, Christopher Okello Oniap walked into the GABA early childhood development program and killed the one and two-year-old kids in what? He first called a human sacrifice to get rich. During the trial, he switched to pleading not guilty, blaming mental illness, and saying he lacked intent to kill. The judge ruled him fully sane that day, no more more shown, and slammed the brutal attack on defenseless babies with the crowd cheering the death. Sentence from a makeshift courtroom right in the community. Prosecutors shielded with DNA on the knife, CCTV tracking him, call records at the scene, and two staff eyewitnesses, though he has 14 days to. Appeal in a country where executions are super rare, last one back in 2005.
