Thirty-one-year-old Issa was found guilty of stabbing Kate-Amadi to death with a kitchen knife in her residence, where he had been invited to repair electrical faults. Issa was said to have locked himself up with the corpse of the deceased in the house where policemen said they found him hiding in the toilet.
Justice Iyabo Kasali, relying on circumstantial evidence adduced by the prosecution, said Issa was guilty of the murder. She said, “There are contradictions in the evidence of the defendant along with Exhibit P4 which is the statement of the defendant.
“The prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. The defendant is hereby sentenced to death by hanging.” Issa had, in his testimony, told the court that he used to go to the deceased’s flat to help her with electrical repairs.
He said he could remember that on the day of the incident, he was slapped by one of the two men sitting with the deceased at the time she went into the house. Issa said he slumped and that by the time he regained consciousness he found people in the house surrounding the deceased in her pool of blood.
He was arraigned on December 7, 2009 on one-count of murder said to have been committed on October 30, 2006.
