‘Long Hair’ appeals conviction over fisherman’s murder

Levan Chanderpaul

Found guilty last month and sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a fisherman, whose body he buried in the Number 68 Village, Corentyne backlands, Munilall Sarjoo has appealed his conviction.

In the grounds of his appeal, lodged with the Guyana Court of Appeal, Sarjoo, called ‘Baby’ and ‘Long Hair,’ is complaining that the trial judge did not adequately put his defence to the jury.

According to him, Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall also made several other legal errors, among which he says was her rejection of his attorney’s no-case submission at both the close of his and the prosecution’s case.
