An electrician, Abdulkadiri Issa, was on Wednesday [Oct. 31] sentenced to death by a Lagos High Court in Ikeja for the murder of Mrs. Catherine Kate-Amadi in Ebute-Meta, Lagos in October 2006.



Issa, 31, was found guilty of stabbing Kate-Amadi to death with a kitchen knife in her residence, where he had been invited to repair electrical faults. He was said to have locked himself up with the corpse of the deceased in the house where policemen said they found him hiding in the toilet.

Justice Iyabo Kasali, relying on circumstantial evidence adduced by the prosecution, said Issa was guilty of the murder.

She said:

There are contradictions in the evidence of the defendant along with Exhibit P4 which is the statement of the defendant.
The evidence of PW1, PW2 and PW3 is credible, irresistible and I find that the defendant killed the deceased.
