Four Nursery School Children Killed in Stabbing Attack in Uganda

Four young children, aged about two and three, have been stabbed and killed at a nursery school in Kampala. The three boys and one girl died instantly.

Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Racheal Kawala said the suspect, identified as Christopher Okello Anyu, has since been arrested following the incident. The 39-year-old suspect first came to the school posing as a parent seeking to enrol a child. He was later detained by police after angry parents attempted to lynch him.

Investigations were launched to determine his motive and background. Authorities said the remaining children at the school were safely returned to their parents.
