A
man who mudered his friend and cut him into small bits for disposal has
been sentenced to death by hanging.Stephen Anona was sentenced this
morning by the Akwa Ibom State High Court sitting in Uyo over the death
of Daniel Bassey Solomon three years ago. Daniel, an Uyo-based barber,
allegedly owed Stephen a debt of N750,000 which he was reluctant to pay.
Stephen Anona then lured his victim into his rented one-room apartment
on Itu Road, Uyo, on July 28, 2015, and gave him food to eat. Unknown to
Daniel, a susbtance was put in the food and he fell into a deep sleep
afterwards. Stephen then used a sharp machete and cut off Daniel's
head, legs, hands and abdomen, and carefully packed them into different
bags which he secretly dumped in gutters and other places.
Stephen
Anona was initially charged to the magistrate’s court from where he was
remanded in Uyo Prison before the case was transferred to the High
court
