Accused in businessman’s killing appealing conviction

Travis McDougall

Accusing the judge who conducted his trial of committing a number of errors, Travis McDougall, who was sentenced in 2017 to 25 years for shooting and killing businessman Ashok Raghoo, is appealing his conviction and sentence.

A jury had found McDougall guilty of manslaughter for the unlawful killing of the businessman during a robbery on August 18, 2014 at the Vlissingen Road and Regent Street traffic lights.

In a notice of appeal, McDougall (the Appellant) contends that trial Judge Navindra Singh misdirected the jury on the law and elements of alibi, and failed to adequately direct them on the law and requirements of identification.
