Woman To Die By Hanging

Emotions were high at High Court Number 10, Maiduguri, Borno State, northeast Nigeria yesterday when Rebecca Emmanuel, who was accused of poisoning her 9-year old son, Ishaya Emmanuel sometime in 2008, was sentenced to death by hanging.

On 20 January, 2008 Rebecca Emmanuel lured her son, Ishaya Emmanuel to a bush where she gave him a Maltina drink laced with poison which led to Ishaya's death after which the convict burnt the corpse.
