A 46-year-old man is to serve 12 years behind bars for killing his girlfriend.
Justice Adedayo Akintoye of Igbosere High Court in Lagos had found him guilty for causing the death of his girlfriend.
The convict, Tunde Omisakin was charged with manslaughter for cutting the right hand of his girlfriend, Tina Toroso, with a cutlass which resulted in her death.
The judge held that the prosecution proved the ingredients of manslaughter beyond a reasonable doubt.
She noted that the prosecution witnesses’ evidence clearly established how the incident happened.
“The prosecution evidence directly pointed to the defendant as the person who caused the death of the deceased (Toroso).
“The defendant did not deny that he cut her hand but said he did not intend to kill her.
“I hold that the ingredient of manslaughter has been proven by the prosecution beyond a reasonable doubt,” Justice Akintoye said.
The judge held: “The evidence adduced by investigating officers during investigations cannot amount to hearsay.
“I hold that the evidence of the prosecution is consistent and therefore reliable.
“This court hereby finds Tunde Omisakin guilty of manslaughter and is dully convicted.
“He is sentenced to 12 years imprisonment, the years of remand will be deducted from his sentence.”
