39 year old Christopher Okello Onyum, the suspect in the Ggaba Daycare Centre killings has been remanded to Luzira prison.
Prosecution alleges he killed four toddlers with malice aforethought at Ggaba Early Childhood Development Centre on Thursday last week: Eteku Gideon, Keisha Agenoroth, Sseruynage Ignatius, and Odeke Rayan.
The suspect has appeared before Grade One Magistrate Idah Nanjala for formal communication of charges.
He has, however, been barred from pleading to the capital offences of murder, which are tried by only the High Court.
The magistrate informed Okello of his rights, including state-funded legal aid and bail application rights. Prosecutors Jonathan Muwaganya and Anna Kiiza say police inquiries are almost complete; Okello returns to court today at 3:00pm.
Okello faces four counts of murder contrary to Sections 171 and 172 of the Penal Code Act.
