The findings of the forensic examiner corroborate the evidence of the children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nielsen was found guilty and convicted of the murder of Zainab and Petra, by Justice Bolanle Okikiolu-Ighile,(retd.), of the Lagos State High Court, at the Tafawa Balewa Square.<\/p>\n<p>Okikiolu-Ighile, in her judgment delivered on May 20, 2022, held that Nielsen smothered Zainab and Petra Nielsen to death.<\/p>\n<p>She ruled, \u201cHe was the one who killed Zainab, and Petra Nielsen. Zainab had already predicted her death when she told their driver that this man would kill her. She told her stepfather, Chris Madaki, when she went to Abuja that this man would kill her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The judge also held that the evidence of the sixth prosecution witness (PW6) that on April 5, 2018, at 4:10 am, she saw Peter Nielsen beating and hitting Zainab\u2019s head on the floor collaborated with the oral evidence of Prof John Obafunwa (PW4).<\/p>\n<p>She held that Prosecution Witnesses (PW5 and PW6) testified that they heard Zainab calling Mimi (one of the girls living with the couple) for help and they heard Zainab telling Nielsen to check her phone but he kept hitting her head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe act of Nielsen shows that he suffocated his wife and daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNielsen has always domestically abused his wife which was shown in the police extract from the Ikoyi Police Station.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe didn\u2019t know that her marriage to the convict was void abi nitio because Peter was already married in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>However, on the issue of the nightgown worn by Zainab on the night she died, the judge expunged the evidence.<\/p>\n<p>She said that the pathologist who analysed the DNA on the nightgown was thoroughly examined and cross-examined by the defence.<\/p>\n<p>The judge, however, said that on October 20, 2020, the High Court of Lagos was vandalised and burnt, during the #EndSARS protest which affected the nightgown, a jumpsuit, towel and pants worn by Zainab and Petra.<\/p>\n<p>The judge, however, said that the contention of the convict was not for cross-examination but for them to take the items for DNA examination for their case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is trite law that all documentary evidence must be scrutinised but the defence argued that the convict didn\u2019t have the opportunity to produce his examination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defence made an application to expunge such items from the evidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have considered the application, exhibits, PWN (Zainab\u2019s nightgown, Petra\u2019s jumpsuit, towel and pants) is hereby expunged,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>But dissatisfied with the judgment Nielsen approached the appeal court to challenge his conviction.<\/p>\n<p>Nielsen was arraigned on June 13, 2018, on two counts of murder.<\/p>\n<p>He pleaded not guilty, to the two counts of murder contrary to Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015, following which trial commenced.<\/p>\n<p>The Lagos State Government accused Nielsen, now 57, of smothering Zainab and their daughter Petra Nielsen, to death at about 3:45 am, on April 5, 2018, at No. 4, Flat 17, Bella Vista Tower, Banana Island, Ikoyi.<\/p>\n<p>When the trial commenced, the prosecution called nine witnesses and closed their case on September 20, 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The defence opened its case and also called nine witnesses with the<\/p>\n<p>convict as the ninth witness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The appeal court held that the respondent (Lagos State) proved the offence of murder against the appellant beyond reasonable doubt.
