After admitting that he fleeced two persons of a total of $900,000, a man was yesterday sentenced to two years in jail despite his pleas for mercy.
Paul Gittens, 44, told Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry in Georgetown that he ended up in a tight situation, forcing him to use the money that had been entrusted to him.
He was charged with two counts of obtaining money by pretence.
