A Maidugri court in Northern Nigeria has sentenced a woman to death for killing her son. The 34-year-old mother of four, Rebecca Emmanuel is to die by hanging for killing her 9-year-old son with= N= 20 rat poison. The son was had outside of wedlock and to save her new marriage, Rebecca deliberately poisoned her son, Ishaya whom she had for another man. In an attempt to hide his existence from her new husband. After killing the boy, she reportedly burnt the corpse using dry grasses and his cloth to conceal his identity.
During investigation she told the police she committed the crime after she was pressurized by her family members to live with the little boy in her new matrimonial home where she already had had four children.
It was gathered that her husband had objected to accommodating a child she had outside wedlock in his home; hence in fear of his anger she had to kill her child to save the union.
The convict could not keep the secret of her heinous act. She went to tell her father of her deeds after she had repeatedly told one of her sisters that she had taken her son, Ishaya to his father in Maiduguri.
During the trial, she in futility tried to disown her first confessional statement she willingly gave to the police that she was responsible for the death of her son when she came to take him away on January 23, 2008, from Biu in Biu Local Government to the Azare in Hawul Local Government.
