David,  who is a teacher at the Landmark University Secondary School, Omu-Aran, was charged with culpable homicide punishable by death, and an attempt to commit culpable homicide contrary to sections 221 and 229 of Penal Code.

Ashinwo was said to have refused the marriage proposal on the basis that David was a married man.
