A court in Scotland on Friday sentenced a Nigerian man to life in prison
after finding him guilty of raping and killing a sex worker in February
2016, Scottish press reported.
Bala Chinda, a 26-year-old son of a Nigerian diplomat, murdered Nkechi
McGraa by asphyxiation at an apartment in Union Terrace, Aberdeen,
Scotland’s Press and Journal reported.
The reports said Mr. Chinda approached Ms. McGraa, a 37-year-old mother
of one and commercial sex worker, for her service the night before the
incident on February 11, 2016.
A violent rage broke out between the two when Mr. Chinda could not pay
for Ms. McGraa’s service the next day, which led to her death after
being beaten and suffocated, according to court proceedings.
Mr. Chinda then fled the scene of the incident, destroying all evidence that could link him with the fatal attack.
His victim’s body, half naked, was found the next day on February 12 by neighbours, the paper said.
Although Mr. Chinda, whose father is said to be attached to Nigerian
embassy in Beijing, China, denied the charges, a jury unanimously found
him guilty of the murder and sentenced him to life with a minimum of 18
years behind bars.
