The trial jury at the 14^th Judicial Circuit Court in Rivercess County has brought down a guilty verdict against a man held for murder.

The jury found Otis Sengbloh guilty for killing a three-year old boy in an acid attack in Sengbloh Town, Timbo District.

Before the jury brought down the verdict, Otis admitted in open court that he wasted the acid in the room but said his target was the new boyfriend of his former fiancé.

The three-year old boy who died while en route to the hospital was in the room when Otis attacked with the acid.

The girl in the center of the confusion was seriously injured from the acid and is undergoing medical treatment in Cestos City.

Meanwhile, Resident Judge Samuel Geevon-Smith is expected to bring down final judgment and sentence within five days.
