Four children – aged about two and three years old – have been “brutally stabbed and killed” at a nursery school in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, police said.
The three boys and a girl were killed instantly, said a police spokesperson, who added that the suspect had used more than one knife during the morning attack. A 39-year-old man has been detained and is being questioned as “investigations continue to establish his motive, background, and any other relevant circumstances surrounding this heinous crime”, according to a Uganda Police Force statement on X.
