Man gets 70 years for murder of Parika fuel dealer

Curt Thomas was yesterday afternoon handed a 70-year sentence for the murder of Parika fuel dealer Seeram Singh whom he shot and killed during a robbery on the night of April 30th, 2016, at Parika Outfall, East Bank Essequibo.

He had been convicted by a jury last Thursday, but because of his unruly outbursts, his attorney requested some time to consult on whether he wished a probation report before his sentencing.

The court was informed yesterday, however, that Thomas did not care for a probation report.
