Man sentenced for three brutal Berbice killings to appeal

Neshan Jagmohan

Sentenced to life imprisonment for the 2016 chopping deaths of a Berbice couple; and 17 years for the 2017 death of a fellow inmate, Rooplall Abrahim has filed with the Guyana Court of Appeal, a notice of his intention to appeal.

He has not yet outlined the specific grounds on which he will be appealing but has cited sentencing as an area of complaint.

Just over a month ago at the High Court in Berbice, Abrahim admitted to Justice Brassington Reynolds that he had killed Bush Lot businessman Arthur Doodnauth Rajkumar and his common-law wife Diane Chamanlall.
