Akwa Ibom State High Court presided
over by Justice Bassey Nkanang has
sentenced a 39-year-old man, one
Monday Effiong, to life imprisonment for
beating his 68-year-old father to death.
The bricklayer who hailed from
Mbiakpan Atan in Ibiono Ibom Local
Government Area of Akwa Ibom State
was found guilty of the offence on
Tuesday.
The convict is said to beat his father over
the allegation that he was a wizard,
responsible for the inability of his wife to
conceive.
In a charge of murder between the State
against Monday Effiong Philip, the
prosecution told the court that the
convict, had on 27th May 2017, upon the
complaint of his wife against her father-
in-law, punched his father with deadly
blows and pushed him, to the ground
The prosecution told the court that even
when a neighbour carried the
sexagenarian into his room, the convict
locked up the door to his father’s room
and returned the following day, with a
patent medicine dealer, only to find the
father dead in the room.
Delivering judgement which lasted for
about an hour judgment, Justice Bassey
Nkanang held that the invitation of the
patent medicine dealer by the convict
was an indication that, in spite of the
unwarranted and unlawful assault on his
father, he had no intention of causing his
death, nor did he know that death would
be probable consequence of his action.
“Whereas it was the act of the accused
person that resulted in the death of the
deceased, the six circumstances provided
for in section three-two-three of the
Criminal Code, Laws of Akwa Ibom State,
which identifies what constitutes murder,
appear to be absent in the entire
scenario of the case.”. The Court held.
