Thirty-five-year-old Vindra Siriram Persaud now faces sentencing for the unlawful killing of his wife, Shelly-Ann Persaud, who was found with her head submerged in a half-filled bucket of water.
After about three hours of deliberations, the jury late last evening unanimously acquitted Persaud of the capital offence, but found him guilty in a proportion of 10-2 on the lesser count of manslaughter.
His attorney Damian DaSilva, however, requested that his client’s sentencing be deferred to facilitate a probation report.
