Moody’s Echoes Concerns About Chinese Influence in Latin America A man has admitted stabbing four children to death at a kindergarten in Uganda, saying he believed killing them as human sacrifices would make him wealthy, prosecutors said on Wednesday.
The defendant, Christopher Okello Onyum, 39, who holds both Ugandan and American citizenship, appeared in court to have the charges formally put to him.
He is thought to have gained access to the kindergarten by posing as a parent, before attacking children with a knife, killing four of them – ranging in age from 15 months to two and a half.

The attack sparked outrage in the African Great Lakes nation, with an angry crowd attempting to lynch him before his arrest.
The indictment read in court said Onyum “recorded a charge and caution statement wherein he confessed to killing all the deceased children”.
It said a medical assessment found his thought processes were “normal”, but he “believed in wealth by human sacrifice” and explained the killings as a means of “fortune hunting or enrichment”.
