Housemaid Gets Death Sentence For Killing Magistrate by sinnerhaas: 4:38pm On Jul 16, 2015 |
An Ogun State High Court sitting in Isabo,
Abeokuta yesterday sentenced to death a21-
year-old house help, David Idah, who
murderedMrsOlufunlayo Cecilia Timeyin, a
retired deputy chief registrar, 65, last year.
Justice AbiodunAkinyemi sentenced Idah,
who hails from Benue State and had worked
as a domestic staff of the late senior
magistrate, to death by hanging.
LEADERSHIP recalls that the convict had on
April 7 been arraigned in an Abeokuta Chief
Magistrates’ Court on a one-count charge of
unlawful killing, an offence which the
prosecution said contravened Sections 316
and 319 of the Criminal Code of Ogun State,
2006.
Idah who had worked as a house help to the
Timeyin household for only two months,
scaled the fence of the house to attack the
former chief magistrate with a machete.
The alarm raised by one of the sons of the
late senior magistrate, Olamide, who had
earlier knocked on the gate and heard the
desperate cries of her mum, attracted some
residents who immediately alerted the men
of the Ogun State Vigilante Service.
One of the vigilantes who raced to the scene,
OluseyeFasina, attached to Operation Two,
Laderin Unit, told our correspondent that he
immediately ran to the back of the house
where he met Idah who had pulled off his
clothes inside the bush and arrested him.
Before the incident, Idah was said to have
stolen household items, including jewellery,
electronics and GSM handsets. He was
allegedly caught while trying to sell off the
phones and handed over to the police by
GSM phone dealers at Oke-Ilewo, Abeokuta.
The late chief magistrate was said to have
pleaded with the police to release the house
help and warned him against coming to her
house again.
Upon release, however, Idah came back to
the house and hacked the woman to death. |
