Two miners plead guilty to separate fatal stabbings

Paul Charles

Two miners are now awaiting sentencing for the stabbing deaths of two men in separate incidents in Essequibo back in 2019.

Paul Charles and Clinton Allen both appeared virtually before Justice Gino Persaud on Tuesday at the High Court at Suddie where they pleaded guilty to charges of manslaughter.

They had each been originally indicted on charges of murder, but threw themselves at the mercy of the court, pleading instead to the lesser offence.
