A Lagos High Court in Igbosere on Wednesday adjourned till May 10 to allow a Danish murder suspect, Peter Nielsen, time to examine new DNA evidence brought against him by the Lagos State Government.
Shasore, a former Lagos Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, accused the state of swamping the defence with “a bundle of papers” and a flash drive containing “almost 100 pages of scientific analysis” only a day before today’s court date. The government accused the Dane of smothering Zainab and Petra to death at about 3:45am at No. 4, Flat 17, Bella Vista Tower, Banana Island Ikoyi.
Nielsen was arraigned last June 13, on two counts of murder contrary to Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.At the last hearing on March 25, the state obtained an adjournment to enable it secure its final witness, a forensic expert, and serve other “information that is very essential” to the defence.
