An
Ogun State High Court sitting at Isabo, Abeokuta, yesterday sentenced a
26-year-old house help, David Uche, to death for killing a retired
senior magistrate, Mrs Olufunmilayo Timeyin. Justice Abiodun Akinyemi
ordered that the convict, who hails from Benue State and worked as a
domestic staff of the late senior magistrate, be killed by hanging. The
convict was represented by Mr. Felix Dalley.
On
March 28,2014, the retired chief magistrate was slaughtered by her
house help in her residence in Laderin Estate in Obafemi-Owode Local
Government Area of the state.
The
25-year-old house help was accused of scaling the fence of the late
Timeyin’s bungalow, deactivating the security system and then hacking
the retired magistrate to death.
He
had been employed in January 2014 and sent packing two weeks later for
allegedly stealing his boss’ valuables, including phones and
jewelleries.
