25-Year-Old Uganda Serial Killer Sentenced To 105 Years In Prison
He was convicted in July for the murder of one of the victims
Kampala, Uganda– A 25-year-old man, Musa Musasizi, a serial killer has been sentenced to 105 years in prison for killing three women and a three-month-old infant.
It was gathered that the victims were identified as his girlfriends, and the infant was the child of one of the victims.
Musasizi, who pleaded guilty, pursued romantic relationships with the women before subjecting them to sexual assault and ultimately ending their lives. Shockingly, he went further by burning and disposing of their bodies, leaving a trail of horror.
Justice Margaret Mutonyi, delivered the sentencing judgment underscores the gravity of Musasizi’s crimes.
She emphasized the necessity of the lengthy sentence to safeguard young women, including Musasizi’s own six-year-old daughter, according to reports from the privately-owned NTV channel.
The case unfolded after Musasizi’s arrest in March 2021 on suspicion of killing five women and an infant.
He was convicted in July for the murder of one of the victims. During the trial, Musasizi’s lawyer appealed for leniency, citing his difficult upbringing as a former street child.
The High Court’s decision serves as a critical step towards justice and sends a clear message about the severity of crimes against women and children in Uganda.
