CEOAFRICA news desk gathered that a London-based Nigerian has been found guilty of murdering his partner’s 3yrs nephew because the child wet the bed they were sharing.

The report said that the 44-year Igbinedion inflicted “catastrophic” injuries upon the 3-year Daniel Evbuomwan so severely they were likened to those caused by a car crash and put him back to sleep in a different bed but Daniel did not respond when family members tried to wake him in the morning.

In the early hours of the morning on March 2, one of the children was woken by Igbinedion telling off Daniel for wetting the bed, the court heard.

Giving his own evidence, Igbinedion told the court that he treated the boy as if he was his own son.

Igbinedion claimed he woke Daniel up at 5:30 a.m to use the toilet before returning the boy to the children’s bedroom and turning the light off.

He accepted the youngster had been well during the day but could not explain what happened.

He was taken to University Hospital in Lewisham, South East London, where he was pronounced dead at 11:25 a.m.

Igbinedion, who denied murder but was convicted at the Old Bailey, will be due to be sentenced on November 27.
