Solution

There is already an eye in the corner, but Black needs to create a second eye. B1 is the only way to make it, setting up the ko at W2.

[Diagram]

continued (B3 and W4 elsewhere)

Black plays B3 elsewhere as a ko threat. If W4 replies there, B5 captures back the ko.

[Diagram]

After B1 connects, W2 destroys the eye. Now Black is dead.
