Tyrone Rowe, called ‘Cobra,’ who was sentenced to 78 years in jail for the 2010 murder of Troy Collymore, is to be retried after the Appeal Court yesterday upheld a challenge to his conviction.
In 2013, a unanimous verdict of guilty was returned by a 12-member jury and Justice Navindra Singh imposed the sentence on Rowe at the Demerara Assizes.
Rowe was tried for murdering Collymore, who was shot in August, 2010 after a robbery at a pharmacy in Plaisance. He was declared clinically dead two days after at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
