Emmanuel Kalejaiye, the 21 year old Nigerian
young man, who learned to walk in heels as part
of his plans to kill his own mother, Tolu Kalejaiye,
in September 2013, (read here) has been found
guilty of manslaughter by a court in England.
According to the jury, Kalejaiye could not be
found guilty of murder because to his mental
state.
The Essex University undergraduate last year
stabbed his 41 year old mother (pictured right)
40 times in her head, face, neck, upper limbs
and hands during a frenzied knife attack. His
mother until her death was an accountant with
the Camden Council in England. Continue...
In his confessional statement, Emmanuel
admitted to killing his mother saying she
was driving him crazy with her religious stance
and was using it to manipulate him.
"I admit killing my mother by stabbing her.
I did this because she subjected me to a
lifetime of physical and mental abuse. She
used the Bible to rationalize what she did to
me. I believe she manipulated and
brainwashed me. I have been very
depressed for a long time. I have tried to
overcome it but I couldn't take it anymore".
According to investigations, after killing his
mum, Emmanuel dressed up in female cloths
and drove out of their apartment in a bid to fool
his neighbor that his mother was the one driving
out to work. His wounded mother, who didn't die
immediately after the stabbing, managed to call
a male friend who drove down to her
apartment but met her corpse when he arrived.
Emmanuel was later caught on CCTV calmly
buying a can of coke and a pack of cookies at a
local post office before handing himself over to
police.
Judge Christopher Ball QC who ruled over the
case asked that a full psychiatric examination be
conducted on Emmanuel. He fixed the date for
his sentencing to June 2014.
