A Kano High Court has sentenced Frank Geng-Quangrong, a Chinese man, to death by hanging for killing Ummukulsum Sani, his Nigerian girlfriend.
Frank was arraigned on a one-count charge of culpable homicide.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecution had told the court that the offence contravenes section 221(b) of the Penal Code.
The prosecution presented six witnesses and four exhibits to prove their case against the defendant.
Muhummad Dan’azumi, the defence counsel, presented the defendant to defend himself. He also presented one other witness and tendered five exhibits.
Sanusi Ado-Ma’aji, the trial judge, on Tuesday, said the prosecution team proved their case beyond reasonable doubt.
