The three men who were last Friday found guilty of robbing land court judge Nicola Pierre and her husband Mohamed Chan, were yesterday jailed for 16 years each.

Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul handed down the sentence to Dameion Millington, Nicholas Narine and Warren McKenzie, who prior to sentencing, claimed they were innocent. The trio was found guilty of two counts of robbery under arms and two counts of felonious wounding. For each of the charges, they were sentenced to four years in prison which will run consecutively.

Laying out her reasons for the sentence, the magistrate said she had taken into account that on the night of the robbery, the men used guns, violence and had stolen cash and articles of a high value from the home.
