Juba,
January 9, 2022— Babu Emmanuel Lokir, the man who was convicted in the murder case of three children, has been hanged to death after the court found him guilty.
Babu, a young medical student, was accused of killing the three siblings at Rock City suburb in Juba on August 1st last year.
In a statement seen by Nyamilepedia, Ogwili Kuot, the President of the High Court in Juba confirms that Emmanuel has been condemned to death.
Emmanuel was first condemned by the court to death on 1st of August last year after the court discovered that he slaughtered the three children.
Emmanuel, a 24 and University Student, was found guilty of the gruesome killing of 9-year-old Naomi, 7-year-old Blessing and 4-year old Nor Edward.
Judge Kuot says Emmanuel was killed after all the court procedures were completed that mandated his hanging.
“Emmanuel Babo Lokiri was hanged today 7th Jan, 2022 at around 2:00 PM”, Judge Ogwili Kuot told Eye Radio on Friday.
“The process with done according the prison procedures. Nobody is hanged without approval form the President of the Republic”, Judge Kuot added.
According to Article 206, premeditated murder is considered if the act that caused the death was committed with the intention of causing the death or if the perpetrator of the act knew that the death was a probable result rather than merely a possible result of an act or any bodily harm that was intended to cause it with the same act.
The murders angered South Sudanese all over the world for taking lives of three innocent kids.
President Salva Kiir last year promised the nation and parents of the murdered kids in particular to ensure that the killer is brought to book.
