Killer of Enugu make-up artist sentence to death
A High Court sitting in Enugu State on February 7, sentenced Chiamaka Ifezue to die by hanging for killing a 27-year-old makeup artist, Ijeoma Nneke on November 11, 2020.
The court, which was presided over by Honourable Justice Kenneth Okpe, in a two-hour judgement, found the accused, Chiamaka Ifezue, guilty of killing the victim by forcing her to drink a poisonous substance. Recall that Ijeoma had left home on November 11 for a job but went missing afterwards.
Her corpse was later found in Maryland within Enugu Metropolis on November 16, 2020. Ifezue and her brother, Chukwuemeka, were arraigned before the court on two-count charge bordering on conspiracy and murder in 2021.
Delivering the final judgment on the case on Wednesday, Justice Okpe said the prosecution proved the case of murder against Ifezue beyond a reasonable doubt.
The court found her guilty of murder and sentenced her to death by hanging.
