Gunman gets nine years after confessing to robberies

Ronlee Ramprashad

Ronlee Ramprashad, 25, who shot at some of his victims during a series of armed robberies, was yesterday sentenced to spend the next nine years in jail after confessing to the crimes.

Ramprashad, of 124 Middle Road, La Peni-tence, Georgetown, had previously denied the charges at his arraignment earlier this month before Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and was remanded to prison.

At yesterday’s hearing, however, before city magistrate Judy Latchman, he indicated that he wanted to change his pleas.
