DICKtator: Victim fought back. A case of self defense!!
But we would need to hear the other side of the coin.
Someone get a necromancer. What really happened ?

Delafruita:
finally you agree that she stabbed him to death and ot that she just swung aimlessly.thats been my point all along.i dont deny that the foolissh boy attempted to rape her,however,i wot accept the fact that she had no malicious intent when she swung that knife especially since don ewizzy wasnt armed when she was in possession of the knife.you cal call it a moment of rage or a loss of consciousness of right and wrong but the reality is she swung with intent to kill.hell,she could even have been threatening with the knife before stabbing the morafoka

dplomaticVal: I will be d last fool 2 bliev all dat dis DEADLY WITCH has vomitted

Okija juju:

A girl that is about to be r`aped, gets the one chance to grab a knife, what do you think her intention would be?! To take a picture with it and upload it on BBM with the status 'R`ape things; Self-defence mode activated' or what?! Ofcourse her intent at that point would be to get out via any means possible including killing her assailant for her to escape. A person acting in self defence can never be said to have malicious intent. Go and ask a lawyer sir. When once you establish that malice was involved, then automatically, its no longer self defence but an act of murder because now you have what the law calls 'Mens Rea' and 'Actus Rea' which are both necessary for a killing to be tagged MURDER.

Im sorry, but your post is absolute rubbish coming from the perspective of the Law. You cant use 'Malicious intent' and 'Self-defence' to describe the same act of killing. I'm sorry, that what is called an oxymoron.

Delafruita:
you have the wrong perception of self-defence as it pertains to this case.as at the time she was in posession of the knife,was don ewizzy armed?personally,i believe she'd be set free.however,i believe there is more to this story than meets the eye.since at the point where she stabbed ewizzy,he was unarmed,self-defence has evaporated.you can attempt to argue involuntary manslaughter but once a connection can be established between them,involuntary manlaughter goes out the window and the investigation will shift to finding motive

I wanted to preserve my virginity, not to kill him • Claims teenager arrested for allegedly stabbing classmate

Kizopumpin: Quite unfortunate, A friend of mine is the husband to the lady she went to help in Ologun-eru before going to the deceased apartment later in the day. even the police in the Eleyele district have busted the dead guy before on yahoo yahoo and rape charges before (what i heard from the lady she went to assisted before the mishap) even though she truly acted on self defense, quite sad there is no body to tell the other side story. I just hope the girl family could get a very good lawyer to fight her case else she is gonna be in jail for a long time. smh

babyosisi:


How did we miss this?
I hope the lawyers can dig up this past records plus witnesses if they exist
This defendant needs it to prove her case

Michky: ...and in addition to your wonderful post, it is certain that the guy got what he deserved. Plus, it is certain that most of what the girl said is very true. But the key word here is "MOST" and not "ALL". Is it a contradiction or is it just me or what? She said the room was dark and one could hardly see a thing. Right? She also said she just waved the knife but didnt realise the guy was close enough to have been at the risk of being stabbed. She actually intended to scare him away. Also, she said she picked the knife from where the guy dropped it. Right? Well, my question is this: if the room was that dark, how did she see the knife in the dark? Now, here's my thought. I want to believe she acted in self defense. Also, i want to believe she intentionally stabbed the deceased because if she could spot the knife from afar, she should have been able to sense the proximity of the guy's body to the knife in her hand, thereby averting the killing. In short, she intended to stab the guy but didnt know he would die from the act. A good lawyer will keep her behind bars for life just as a good lawyer is now her only hope for freedom. There's more but i will stop here for now.

coogar: give me 10 mins in the court to cross-examine this girl and she would go to jail. just 10 mins!

Okija juju:
If I'm her lawyer, she'll never take the stand.. Over to you!

coogar:

she would never take which stand?
i can prove murder - the unlawful killing of another human being with malice afterthought.

The stand in court, so you wouldnt be able to cross examine nothing but her statement.

You would be able to prove murder abi?! Even when the dead guy has a prior arrest for r`ape abi?! Plus is cult affiliation as well. lol! Someone must feel he is Denny Crane..

The girl would walk. This is an open and shut case.

coogar:

prior arrest for räpe? where? how? can you prove this or is this another hearsay like the pistorius case where neighbours living 1000 feet away claimed they heard screams in the night?

even if he's got prior arrest, it's still unlawful for this girl to have killed him. all the 5 elements of murder are present. the knife dropped, which means there was no threat to the life of the girl at that moment. it should be the guy getting to the knife first, not the girl. think about it!

let's even assume she had the right to self defence - only reasonable force is allowed. she didnt swipe at the dude to get a cut.....she stabbed him, i.e. a full forward thrust of the knife into the boy's heart! it's an open n shut case of murder. not even johnny cochrane can win this case against me.

Okija juju:

[b]LOL!!

-Prior arrest for r'ape was stated by a Nairalander here.
-The guy is obviously a cultist which speaks to his general character and which means he has a high propensity for violence.
-That the knife dropped did not mean the girl was out of danger. Remember that the girl wasnt trying to stop a stabbing but a r'ape. His bare hands alone (which he already slapped her with) still constituted a weapon and therefore a threat to her life.
-In the battle of the sexes, it is believe that the women are the weaker sex.
-The question of reasonable force can be argued justly. She didnt stab him multiple times which would suggest rage. She stabbed him once and that was the fatal shot. In this case, her stab can be argued to be reasonable force because it was enough to incapacitate her attacker long enough for her to escape.
-That the knife penetrated deep enough to hit his heart os of no consequence in this case. It can be argued that she stabbed him or that he ran into the knife with enough force for it to hit his heart.

She doesnt need a Johnny Cochrane to win this, a simple freshmen law student is all she needs.

From all d comments u have made here, I wud lose woefully

coogar:

you would lose? biko, are you the accused?

lynpetra:
Modified..

coogar:

i would lose?
hahahaha - this woman admitted she stabbed the guy in self-defence. she would go to jail for either murder or manslaughter. she cannot walk free from court!

lynpetra:



Was she suppose to deny??Weda her story has some loopholes or not,she acted in self defense.There is a difference between trying to be smart and trying to be logical.A good judge wud see the first wen u present ur own case.

coogar:

1) what's the credibility of the guy that told you about the prior arrest? has the police confirmed the deceased had previous record? this is not a customary court, okija!

2) that point is moot! not all cultists have propensity for violence. some members are recruited for other purposes ranging from connections, financial backing, etc. you will have to prove this guy belongs to a cult too - that the accused mentioned it does not make it true.

3) another weak point. there was a reason the deceased picked the knife as a weapon of choice in the first place. if he could harm the accused with his bare arms, why get the knife.

4) weak point - in the battle of sexes, the deceased(male) died and the accused(female) lived without any defensive marks, wounds or bruises.

5) someone died - reasonable force does not play a part anymore. why did she aim for his upper body knowing that area of the body can cause death. she had the knife, why didnt she swing at his feet, thighs, etc? stabbing someone cannot be classed as reasonable force especially when the deceased was no longer armed.

6) read her statement again - she admitted she lunged at him with the knife. he didn't run into the blade. the accused stabbed him forcefully!

she will go to jail for murder, perhaps manslaughter if its true the man has a previous arrest!
