In an interview with Luv FM, lawyer for the accused explained that his client arrived at his latest decision as a show of remorse.
“I believe it is as a result of remorse. All along he had been remorseful. He intimated to me that he was not guilty. He pleaded not guilty. Believing that he had actually beaten his son, it was within him. So it was like he was living a double life,” he said adding that his client was ready to subject himself to the jurisdiction of the court.
