Read Time:52 Second
An Osun State High Court has found Dr Ramon Adedoyin, the owner of Hilton Hotel , Ile Ife guilty in the murder case of Timothy Adegoke, a former postgraduate student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, whose death occurred between November 5th and 7th, 2021, at Hilton Honours Hotel, Ile-Ife.
The Osun Chief Judge, Adepele Ojo, while delivering her judgement on the case, held that the circumstantial evidence available to the court, pointed to the killing of Adegoke while being a guest at the hotel.
According to the Chief Judge, Adedoyin’s decision not to enter the witness box did not help him, as the circumstantial evidence had shifted the burden of proof on him.
Justice Ojo also said Adedoyin’s decision not to enter the witness box meant he agreed to the murder charge pressed against him by the prosecution, dismissing the alibi pleaded on his behalf by his counsel, who said the hotel owner was in Abuja for many days around the time the death of the late Adegoke occurred.
