While affirming the convictions of murder and manslaughter in the killing of his two cousins, the Guyana Court of Appeal yesterday reduced Abdul Budhoo’s sentence from what was a combined total of 62 years to 30 years instead.
Finding the previously-imposed sentence to have been unduly severe and contrary to guidelines established by case law precedent, the appellate court made the reductions.
Following his conviction back in 2017, trial judge Navindra Singh had sentenced Budhoo to 62 and 32 years respectively for killing brothers—Imran and Shaheed Bacchus.
