Sentenced back in 2017 to 62 years in jail for killing his cousins—brothers Imran and Shaheed Bacchus—Abdul Budhoo in an appeal has contended that the trial judge erred in directing the jury on provocation and that the sentence imposed upon him is severe.
The matter is set for hearing before the Guyana Court of Appeal on November 2nd.
A jury had found Budhoo guilty of murdering Imran, but by a majority of eleven to one, guilty of the lesser count of man-slaughter for unlawfully killing Shaheed.
