Jinja High Court Resident Judge Dr Winfred Nabisinde has sentenced Pastor Joseph Sserubiri of Kakira Deliverance and Healing Ministries to life imprisonment for murder and 30 years for child trafficking.


While passing the sentence, the trial judge said this should serve as an example to those who intend to engage into similar acts of child sacrifice and also serve as a deterrent measure to the evil of rampant cases of witch craft in Busoga sub region.

This follows events from last week when Sserubiri pleaded guilty to charges of child trafficking and murder before High Court Judge Winfred Nabisinde.

In her judgement Justice Nabisinde revealed that the facts stated that the convict had a dream in September 2021 where a big male snake with a human head bearing the face of Pastor Ismail Buyinza appeared before him. He started receiving visions of the same nature over time which convinced him that he should sacrifice a human being regardless of any sex and age, even if he was a pastor.

Upon seeking guidance from his wife Felista Namaganda and his spiritual father Pastor Ismail Buyinza, they both consented that he should do what God told him which prompted him to kill the minor.
