They were stripped naked, severely beaten and then burnt to death. 12 persons were initially arrested but in January this year, 5 persons were discharged and acquitted.
Mr Messiah Obuzor, father of one of the victims, in an interview with reporters praised the court for sentencing the killers to death. Obuzor said the the court’s judgment removed the tag of criminality on the late students and showed that his late son, Ugonna and his friends had no criminal dent, but were murdered extra-judicially.
"The eyes of the court saw an overwhelming proof that my son and the others were murdered unjustifiably. By what the court has pronounced, it is clear that the act is condemnable, illegal and barbaric," he said.
