The High Court has heard that there is no CCTV footage directly showing Christopher Okello Onyum committing the alleged murder of four children at Ggaba Early Childhood Development Centre.
Prosecution witness Assistant Inspector of Police Emmanuel Odong, a CCTV analyst with the National Command and Control Centre in Naguru, told court that cameras at Renewal SACCO, located behind the daycare, were off from morning until midday on the day of the incident.
He said the cameras only resumed recording at about 12:50 p.m., after the alleged killings had occurred.
However, earlier footage was used to trace the suspect’s movements. The court heard that Onyum was seen driving a Toyota RAV4 through several parts of Kampala before arriving at Ggaba Trading Centre.
At around 12:04 p.m., the vehicle reportedly entered the Renewal SACCO parking yard. The driver parked, walked toward the daycare, and returned about 12 minutes later before driving off.
The court also heard that earlier footage showed the victims being transported to Wenz Medical Centre at around 11:20 a.m.
Odong presented a CCTV analysis report dated April 7th, 2026, which was submitted as evidence.
Onyum is accused of killing four children on April 2nd, 2026. The trial, which began on April 13th, is ongoing before the High Court, with earlier testimony indicating the accused was mentally stable.
