Man Sentenced to Death for Murdering Mortuary Owner in Rivers State

A middle-aged man identified as Eze Kingsley has been sentenced to de@th by a Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt for k!lling a mortuary owner, the late David Wagbara.

 

Wagbara was st@bbed to d3ath by Kingsley who was a petroleum tanker conductor on December 7, 2018, in Rumuosi Community along the East-West Road in Obio/Akpor local government area of the state, following an argument.

Delivering judgment on the matter, the trial judge, Justice Omah Diepreye held that the prosecution was able to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt.
