An Ibadan lawyer who killed her husband got yesterday the reward of her action — seven years in jail.
Justice Munta Abimbola of the Oyo State High Court, Ring Road, Ibadan convicted Yewande Oyediran of manslaughter. The term is to run from the day of her arrest.
The court held that although the evidence showed that she killed her husband, none of the witnesses established the intent of the accused or described seeing her stabbing the deceased.
The judge noted that the killing was done without intent, going by the fact that the parties were married at the time of the incident.
The accused stabbed her husband, Lowo Oyediran, in the neck on February 2, 2016 at their 30, Adeniyi Layout, Abidi-odan, Akobo, Ibadan home, following a misunderstanding.
Yewande, an official of the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP), Ministry of Justice, Oyo State, had been on trial since February, last year.
She was arraigned on a one- count charge of killing her man with a knife.
