The convict, a graduate of Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), was arrested by the police command last July for allegedly killing the former deputy governor's daughter for money ritual at his home in Akure and burying her in his room for six days.
Justice Bola said the convict had committed a capital offence and should die by hanging.
