A Nigerian high court has sentenced a Danish national, Peter Nielsen, to death by hanging. Nielsen was convicted and sentenced Friday for the murder of his Nigerian wife and their young daughter in 2018. The justice said evidence from an autopsy revealed that Nielsen's wife, Zainab, and their three-year-old daughter died of head injuries and suffocation. The killing triggered criticism from women rights groups and they have been monitoring the progress of the trial since then. Okei-Odumakin noted the bodies of Nielsen's wife and daughter have remained in the mortuary since their death four years ago.
