Nazir Hussain, a convict who escaped from the custody of city police by jumping through a window during a blackout, was yesterday sentenced to one year imprisonment for his crime.
Hussain, 35, who pleaded guilty to the crime when he appeared before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts yesterday, explained that he was frustrated as he had never had to deal with being locked up.
Hussain had been arrested on April 16 for depositing waste at the Stabroek Tarmac—a crime to which he had admitted and for which he had been fined $12,000
