Two directors of Jozan Nursery and Primary School in Soroti, Uganda, Suzan Vivian Ariokot and Joseph Okedi, along with police officer John Bosco Obotol, have been found guilty of murdering six-year-old Joan Faith Apio. Apio’s body was discovered with a slit throat in the school latrine on February 5, 2025. The High Court convicted the pair and the officer, despite initially involving six individuals in the investigation. However, the school’s headteacher and matron were acquitted of any wrongdoing in the case. The conviction marks a significant development in the highly publicized case that shocked the nation. Details surrounding the motive for the murder remain largely undisclosed following the court's decision, but sentencing is pending. This ruling brings a degree of closure to the family and community impacted by the tragic loss.
