The 25-year-old convict killed the deceased who was her boss with a stool with intent to rob her of the sum of N100,000 on 1st December, 2021, at her residence in Ugbor Community, Oredo local government area of Edo State.

The trial Judge, Justice Efe Ikponmwonba, who gave the verdict on Monday, held the convict, after also using cotton wool to stoke the nose of the deceased, called a cab man to escape from the house the following morning.

The convict confessed to the police that she bought Indian hemp which she used in preparing a meal for her late boss in order to weaken and kill her.

The judge held that the evidence of the pathologist on the cause of death, evidence of other prosecution witnesses in addition to the convict’s confessional statement, it was safe for the court to send the convict to the gallows.
