Hansel Lewis

Hansel Andre Lewis, alias ‘Smiley,’ of John Lewis Street, Angoy’s Avenue in New Amsterdam, Berbice,  was found guilty yesterday of  attempted murder over the wounding of Chris Burrowes, called ‘Boonee’, during the early hours of  New Year’s Day  2013.

The unanimous verdict was returned about two hours after the jury was sent to deliberate at the Berbice Assizes.

Sentencing has been postponed as presiding Judge Brassington Reynolds has ordered a probation report on the background of the convict who was deported over eight years ago from the United States of America.
