우간다 남성, 유치원 살인죄로 사형선고

Ugandan Man Gets Death Sentence for Nursery School Killings

고등법원이 캄팔라의 유치원에서 네 명의 유아를 살해한 혐의로 38세의 크리스토퍼 오켈로 오뉴움에게 교수형을 선고했다. 피해자들은 1세에서 2세 반 사이의 나이였다.

오뉴움은 범죄를 인정했으며 이를 자신을 부자로 만들기를 희망했던 "인신공양"이라고 불렀다. 그러나 그는 나중에 불경죄를 주장하며 의도적인 잘못을 부인했다. 그는 공격 당시 정신질환을 앓고 있었으며 살해 의도를 형성할 수 없었다고 주장했다. 그는 정신질환을 근거로 법원에 무죄를 촉구했다. 그러나 앨리스 코무항기 카우카 판사는 공격 당일 그가 "매우 정신적으로 건전했다"고 판결했다.

우간다에서는 사형제도가 폐지되지 않았으며 거의 집행되지 않는다. 마지막으로 기록된 사건은 2005년에 발생했다. 오뉴움은 판결에 항소할 14일의 시간이 있다.

The High Court has sentenced 38-year-old Christopher Okello Onyum to death by hanging for the murder of four toddlers at a nursery school in Kampala. The victims were aged between one and two-and-a-half years.

Onyum admitted the crime and called it a "human sacrifice" that he hoped would make him rich. However, he later pleaded not guilty, denying intentional wrongdoing. He maintained that he was suffering from mental illness at the time of the attack and was unable to form the intent to kill. He urged the court to acquit him on the grounds of insanity. However, presiding judge Alice Komuhangi Khauka ruled that he was "very sane" on the day of the attack.

Capital punishment has not been abolished in Uganda, and it is rarely carried out. The last recorded case took place in 2005. Onyum has 14 days to appeal against the sentence.
