A Computer Science student of the University for Development Studies, Nyankpala campus, Salifu Nurudeen, has been sentenced to death for murdering his fellow student, Wumpini Mohammed Zakiu.
The crime occurred in September last year and stemmed from a romantic relationship dispute.
Nurudeen’s girlfriend, also a UDS student, had ended her relationship with him and started dating the victim.
On September 25, Wumpini’s body was discovered with multiple stab wounds, and his phone was missing.
The police cybercrime unit later tracked the phone to Nurudeen’s location, where it was found hidden under his bed.
Evidence revealed that Nurudeen had sent messages from Wumpini’s phone, one pretending to break up with the girlfriend, and another sent to Wumpini’s friend.
He was arrested after being lured to Jubilee Park.
Nurudeen admitted to sending the text messages but denied murdering the victim.
The Tamale High Court found Nurudeen guilty of murder, and he was subsequently sentenced to death.
