Beverley Persaud was yesterday sentenced to 29 years behind bars for the murder of her husband, while `hitman’ Oswald Junior Yaw whom she had contracted to execute the killing, was sentenced to 10 years more than her.
Late last month the two had pleaded guilty to murdering block maker Nathan Andrew Persaud who had been brutally beaten at his Herstelling, East Bank Demerara home.
The motive for the murder surrounded a property dispute between Persaud and her husband who had separated from her and moved out of the matrimonial home sometime in 2014—the year before he was killed.
