A High Court in Abuja has sentenced Peter Nwachukwu, husband of late gospel singer Osinachi, to death by hanging.
Justice Nwosu-Iheme of the FCT High Court, Wuse Zone 2, delivered the judgment on Monday, finding Nwachukwu guilty of culpable homicide.
The court ruled that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.
Nwachukwu was arraigned on a 23-count charge, including homicide, spousal battery, and child cruelty.
The prosecution presented 17 witnesses and 25 exhibits, while the defence called five witnesses.
Besides the death sentence on Count 1, Nwachukwu received multiple prison sentences and fines on other counts.
His lawyer pleaded for leniency, but the court upheld the full weight of the law.
