Court sentences two to death for murder, Armed robbery, rape

A Delta State High Court sitting in Ibusa has sentenced two men, Mr Ojerbo Solomon and Mr Ola Babatunde to death for Murder, armed robbery and rape.

The sitting which was presided over by Hon. Justice M.O. Omovie, convicted both defendants as charged.

The prosecution conducted by Mr. E.H. Edema had, through its five witnesses, led evidence to show that on 8th February 2016, the two defendants, while armed with guns, cutlasses, and knives, broke into the house of the victims.

In the course of the armed robbery, the defendants raped the victims and thereafter slit their throats.

One of the victims, Mr Praise Sunday, survived the attack, but his mother and sister died from the attack.

After committing the attack, the two defendants escaped on the victim’s motorcycle to Ewohimi in Edo State, from where they were later apprehended by the police.

In the course of the trial, the two defendants gave evidence in their defence and denied the allegation in their testimony but called no witnesses.

Justice Omovie in his judgement stated that after carefully evaluating the evidence presented at the trial, he came to the conclusion that the prosecution had proved the case against the two defendants beyond reasonable doubt, and accordingly convicted both defendants as charged.

The two defendants were sentenced to death by hanging.
