Rajesh Guyadeen, the accused in the 2003 murder of Nandram Manohar, called ‘Nando,’ who was fatally stabbed after an altercation at a wedding house at Unity, East Coast Demerara, was yesterday afternoon sentenced to 70 years behind bars by Justice Navindra Singh.
Justice Persaud handed down the sentence after a 12-member jury returned with a unanimous verdict following two hours of deliberations and convicted the visibly-distressed Guyadeen, 37, for the capital offence.
“I am sorry that the deceased died,” Guyadeen, when given a chance to speak, told the judge.
