Deosarran Bisnauth, the teen who was handed a life sentence by Justice Navindra Singh after being convicted for manslaughter two weeks ago, is appealing both the sentence and the conviction.
In a notice of appeal, filed by his attorney Nigel Hughes, the teen has argued that his sentence was “manifestly excessive.” Bisnauth, called “Strokes Mouth,” was initially indicted for the murder of Robert Mangal, called “Trevor,” which he allegedly committed on July 6, 2013, at Enmore, East Coast Demerara.
On April 18, a 12-member jury unanimously found the young man not guilty of murder, but by a proportion of 11 to 1 convicted him on the lesser count of manslaughter at the High Court in Georgetown.
