Man gets five years for death of beautician after pleading guilty to manslaughter

Melroy Doris

Thirty-four-year-old Melroy Doris was this afternoon sentenced to five years in prison for the July 10th, 2014 unlawful killing of Lusignan beautician Ashmini Harriram called “Monesha,” who was shot at the Lusignan Railway Embankment, East Coast Demerara.

The former taxi driver had been originally indicted for murder, but earlier last month threw himself at the mercy of the court, pleading to the lesser offence of manslaughter.
