Four children were stabbed to death on Thursday at a kindergarten in Uganda’s capital, Kampala, police said.

The male suspect, in his thirties, gained access by posing as a parent before attacking children aged around two and three with a knife, police said.

“We confirm a tragic incident at the Ggaba Early Childhood Development Program school in Makindye Division, Kampala City, where a male suspect brutally stabbed and killed four juveniles,” police spokeswoman Racheal Kawala said.

The suspect fatally stabbed three boys and a girl among 14 children present at the compound, police said.

He had visited the nursery last week to seek admission for a child, paid the fees and was told to return this week, Kawala said.

Angry residents attempted to lynch the man as he tried to escape before security forces intervened by firing tear gas to disperse the irate crowd and arresting him.
