A sad end as Dr Ramon Adedoyin owner of a popular hotel in Osun state has been found guilty of murder in the case of murder of Timothy Adegoke, a former Masters student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.
In her judgement on the case, The Osun Chief Judge, Adepele Ojo, held that the circumstantial evidence available to the court, pointed to the killing of Adegoke while being a guest at the hotel owned by Adedoyin. That 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. And also meant that 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 took place.
