Anthony Jones who in August admitted stabbing Nyron Vyphuis in the heart after the young man intervened to bring peace between Jones and Jones’ wife has appealed the life sentence he was handed.
Jones, 41, called ‘Pastry Man,’ had initially been indicted for murder, but later threw himself at the mercy of the Court, pleading to the lesser offence of manslaughter—admitting that on October 13th, 2018—he had unlawfully killed the 20-year-old.
In an appeal he has lodged with the Guyana Court of Appeal, however, Jones is contending that the sentence of life imposed upon him is not only “excessive,” but also “not in keeping with the principles applicable to an appropriate sentence.”
