A Cypriot court has sentenced a Nigerian, Christopher Ezeh, to 27 years imprisonment over the murder of another Nigerian student, Walshak Augustine Ngok.
According to Court president Nüvit Gazi, 25-year-old Ngok was found dead in a Haspolat- Tashkent highway forest on Friday, April 19, 2019.
Gazi said an autopsy report by the police showed that Ngok died from head trauma and suffocation.
Although about 12 suspects had been apprehended for committing the crime initially, Gazi said that Ezeh later confessed to brutalizing Ngok and throwing his body into the forest.
He said, “Ezeh, who was a roommate to the deceased, confessed to killing Ngok and taking his body to a forest area after they both got into a fierce because of a girl.

“The duo was said to have continued fighting when they later got home even after some friends tried to separate them initially when the fight started.
“Christopher reportedly beat Walshak Augustine severely, which made him unconscious.
“He dragged him down the stairs of the apartment and took him to the forest area where he dumped him after seeing that he was no longer breathing, instead of going to the hospital,” he said.
Judge Şerife Kâtip of the Lefkosa High Criminal Court also sentenced one Nana Nkansah, a Ghanaian and Wayne Moyo, a Zimbabwean, to three years in prison for helping Ezeh to transport the body to the forest.
