Mariam Sanda appeals death sentence

Subsequent to her conviction by an FCT High Court over the alleged murdering her husband, Bilyaminu Bello, Mariam Sanda has wrote the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, requesting the court to set aside the judgement and discharge her.

Mariam , who was sentenced to death by hanging by Justice Yusuf Halilu on Jan. 27, according to him said the trial judge “was tainted by bias and prejudices.”

From her statement, this led to the denial of her right to fair hearing and her consequent conviction based on circumstantial evidence despite the reasonable doubt that was created by evidence of witnesses, lack of confessional statement, absence of murder weapon, lack of corroboration of evidence by two or more witnesses and lack of autopsy report to determine the true cause of her husband’s death.
