According to him, the husband wanted s3xual intercourse with his wife , now deceased, but she declined saying she did not want to get pregnant after having seven children.
He told the court that the man , infuriated by his wife ’s refusal , beat her to submission and forcefully had s3xual intercourse with her,all of which led to her death .
Oriyomi said the offence contravened Section 319 (1 ) of the Criminal Code, Cap C 16 , Laws of Ekiti State . 2012 .
