A bus driver, who was charged with causing the death of a farmer by dangerous driving, was yesterday sentenced to 56 months in prison by Magistrate Judy Latchman after she found him guilty of the crime.

Robert Griffith, 40, of Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, was in total shock when the guilty verdict was handed to him by Magistrate Latchman in a Georgetown court, where his trial concluded yesterday.
