A 26-year old houseboy, David Idah, has been
sentenced to death by the Ogun state high court in
Abeokuta, the state capital, for killing his former
boss, Mrs Olufunmilayo Timeyin, who is a retired
senior magistrate.
Idah, who is from Benue state and worked as a
house-help to late magistrate, was sentenced to
death by hanging by Justice Abiodun Akinyemi
today.
Idah killed his former boss, who was 65-years,
at her residence in Laderin Housing Estate with
a matchet and slaughtered her on the 28th of
March, 2014.
He carried out the action because he was sacked
by the late magistrate after he was caught
stealing. He scaled the fence of the house to
carry out the dastardly act.
According to The Punch, he was arraigned on
April 4, 2014, on one count of unlawful
killing. The offence contravened sections 316
and 319 of the criminal code laws of Ogun state,
2006.
Two months back, a similar incident occurred
in Enugu state, a 65 year old grandmother was
found dead in her bedroom at her residence.
She was reportedly murdered by her teenage
house boy.
