Uduak Frank Akpan, the young man who lured a 26 years old graduate to his home, raped her, and gruesomely murdered her has been sentenced to death.
He was sentenced to death by hanging by Justice Bassey Nkanang of the Akwa Ibom State High Court on Thursday for the murder of Iniubong Umoren.
The court discharged and acquitted his father, Frank Akpan and sister, Anwan Bassey (2nd and 3rd accused), who were standing trial with him.
To worsen matters for himself, Akpan allegedly attempted an escape after attacking a lawyer in open court. He was overpowered and bundled into a waiting van.
