A Toronto man has admitted to poisoning the cereal of two toddlers in Scarborough in 2021, one of whom died hours later, in what the court described as an ‘obsessive’ plot against a married woman he’d become fixated on.

“There are no words I can say to undo what I have done,” Ngugi read from a handwritten statement to the court on Tuesday. “I took the life of an angel, Bernice, and for that I am truly sorry." Ngugi quickly became obsessive and jealous in his fixation on Issa, according to the documents. He focused on the woman’s marriage and life back in Tanzania and soon became suspicious that she was being dishonest about her history, the statement reads.

Ngugi's supervisor had previously warned him that “less than a teaspoon” would kill someone within an hour, according to the agreed statement of facts. The cause of death, which was not revealed to Bernice's mother for weeks after the child's death, was a deprivation of oxygen to the body’s cells.
