Nigerian wrestler to die by hanging for killing wife
Thank-You Grim, a local wrestler, was found guilty of killing his wife Kwalla during a fight and will be executed by hanging.

Grim killed his wife after forcing her to participate in a "wrestling match" over a family dispute.

Grim reportedly hit her in the face with a pestle, instantly killing her, the court was told.

Before the occurrence, the deceased and her husband (Grim), who are both from the Sili community in the Guyuk local government region, engaged in a number of ongoing arguments about their marriage.

They allegedly split up on January 10, 2018, and met up again at a wrestling match this year.

After being found guilty of killing the victim, the legendary wrestler was given the death penalty by Justice Nathan Musa, the state's top court.

Grim was convicted on a one-count charge of culpable homicide punishable with death contrary to section 192(b) of the Adamawa State Penal Code Law 2018.

Justice Musa, who delivered his judgement yesterday, said the prosecution had proved its case with cogent evidence that the convict killed the deceased.

“As stated in my judgement, the convict is convicted for culpable homicide punishable with death. My hands are therefore tied. I cannot do otherwise.

“Therefore, the convict is accordingly sentenced to death by hanging as provided by section 192(b) of Penal Code Law”, the judge held.

After the couple ended their union, the deceased fell in love with another man and decided to get married as a result of which she mounted pressure on the convict to issue her with a divorce letter.

The convict was said to have asked the deceased to meet him for the letter, when they met during a wrestling competition which took place in the community in which he participated.

The convict pleaded with her to return to her matrimonial home on her arrival on that fateful day, but she refused and told him that she had charmed him, and that there is nothing he can do.

Irked by her reply, the convict picked a pestle and hit her in the face and other parts of the body severally and she fell down, went into coma and later died.
