ABEOKUTA— An Ogun State High Court sitting at
Isabo, Abeokuta, yesterday sentenced a 26-year-old house
help, David Uche, to death for killing a retired senior
magistrate, Mrs Olufunmilayo Timeyin.
Justice Abiodun Akinyemi ordered that the convict, who hails
from Benue State and worked as a domestic staff of the late
senior magistrate, be killed by hanging.
The convict was represented by Mr. Felix Dalley.
On March 28,2014, the retired chief magistrate was slaughtered
by her house help in her residence in Laderin Estate in
Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.
The 25-year-old house help was accused of scaling the fence of
the late Timeyin’s bungalow, deactivating the security system
and then hacking the retired magistrate to death.
He had been employed in January 2014 and sent packing two
weeks later for allegedly stealing his boss’ valuables, including
phones and jewelleries.
