A Corentyne man who is presently serving a life sentence for murdering his mother-in-law, was last week found not guilty of attempting to murder his wife in Decem-ber, 2014 at Whim Village, Corentyne. He was, however, found guilty of wounding her.
Ian Saraswati, of Lot 91 Bushlot Village, Corentyne, was on trial before Justice Jo Ann Barlow at the High Court in Berbice. He was represented by attorneys Mursaline Bacchus and Surihya Sabsook.
