Former Guyana Defence Force (GDF) coastguards Sherwyn Hart, Deon Greenidge and Devon Gordon are currently challenging the death penalty imposed against them for the 2009 murder of Bartica gold dealer Dweive Kant Ramdass.
At a hearing before the Guyana Court of Appeal yesterday morning lawyers for the men sought, and were granted leave to file what they described as “fresh evidence” pertaining to their clients who have each been sentenced to death.
At the virtual hearing, attorney Nigel Hughes who represents Hart and Greenidge said he wanted to lay over reports of experts on the death penalty and how it affects the appellants. Attorney Latchmie Rahamat who represents Gordon supported Hughes’ application.
