<h2>An Enugu State High Court has sentenced Chiamaka Ifezue to death by hanging for the murder of a 27-year-old makeup artist, Ijeoma Nneke.</h2>
<p>Honourable Justice Kenneth Okpe delivered the judgement in a two-hour judgement on Wednesday, February 7, 2024.</p>
<p>Ifezue was found guilty of killing the victim by forcing her to drink a poisonous substance.</p>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> recalls that Ijeoma went missing after leaving home for a job on November 11, 2020.</p>
<p>Her mutilated corpse was later found around Maryland in Enugu metropolis on November 16.</p>
<p>Ifezue and her brother, Chukwuemeka, were arrested and arraigned before the court on a two-count charge bordering on conspiracy and murder in 2022.</p>
<p>They were accused of forcing Nneke to drink a poisonous substance that caused her death.</p>
<p>Justice Okpe discharged Chukwuemeka following a no-case submission pleaded by the defence counsel, Chuma Oguejiofor.</p>
<p>In discharging Chukwuemeka, the trial judge held that there was no evidence that he participated in the crime.</p>
<p>However, delivering the final judgement on the case, Justice Okpe said the prosecution proved the case of murder against Ifezue beyond a reasonable doubt.</p>
<p>The court consequently found Ifezue guilty of murder and sentenced her to death by hanging.</p>
