MURDER: POLICE CONSTABLE TO DIE BY HANGING

MURDER: POLICE CONSTABLE TO DIE BY HANGING

A police constable, Justin Ezeozor was Friday sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of a fellow police officer, Inspector Clement Onwuegbuta two years ago.

Ekeozor is to be hanged on the neck until he is dead. May God forgive your soul," the judge added.

Justice L. O. Okereke while deciding a case of murder of Onwuegbuta, on Feb 17, 2012, ruled that the accused was found guilty as charged.

Justice Okereke in his judgement noted that the plea by Constable Ekeozor that he shot the deceased on self defence was not tenable as he did not receive order from his senior officer on duty with him to shoot before doing so.
