Court Sentence Man 39 To Death For Killing Lover

A thirty nine year old automobile mechanic, Musiliu Owolabi has been sentenced to death by hanging by an Abeokuta High Court for killing his lover, Afusat Idowu.

The Chief Judge of Ogun State, Justice Mosunmola Dipeolu in her judgement said that accused mechanic was guilty of allegation levelled against him.

The judge noted that the offence committed by the 39 year old man contravened the provisions of Section 319 of the Criminal Code Laws of the state.

She held that the evidence presented by the prosecution counsel against the convict was overwhelming.

The state prosecution counsel, Mr James Mafe said that the the automobile mechanic committed the offence on February 1, 2018 at Camp area of Abeokuta, the state capital.

He submitted that the convict  went to an undisclosed hotel with his lover and that moments later the lady complained that she was having stomachache and that she's started  foaming in her mouth.

The convict allegedly took his lover in his vehicle and after discovering that she has passed on, he took the corpse of the lady to an uncompleted building where he buried her in a shallow grave.

The younger brother of the dead lover girl was said to have reported to the police that his sister got missing after attending a naming ceremony.

The police during their investigation according to the prosecution counsel tracked Afusat Idowu's phone and discovered that the last person she spoke with was the convict.

The convict was subsequently arrested by the police and made a confessional statement and took them to the place where he buried his lover.

The automobile mechanic was earlier arraigned on November 12, 2019 but pleaded not guilty.
