Anita Baichan

Rooplall Abrahim was recently sentenced to life imprisonment for the fiery murder of Anita Baichan in 2016, while his accomplice, Madanpaul Gocoul was yesterday sentenced to 19 years in prison by Justice Brassington Reynolds at the High Court in Berbice. 

The two men were charged in January, 2016, at the Fort Wellington Magistrate’s Court, with murder committed on 49-year-old Baichan at Plantation Hope, West Coast Berbice.

Baichan’s son, who was a victim of the robbery, was one of the nine witnesses who presented evidence to the court on behalf of the state.
