Rapist seeking to overturn conviction

Inteaz Mohamed

Sentenced back in July to a total of 50 years—of which he is required to only serve half of that amount for raping a school girl he transported to lessons, Inteaz Mohamed has filed an appeal, arguing that the sentence is too harsh.

In his notice of appeal lodged with the Guyana Court of Appeal, the Appellant says that he is dissatisfied not only with the sentence, but the conviction against him as well which he wants set aside.

In his application to the appellate court, Mohamed said he is “dissatisfied with the whole of the sentencing,” which he describes as “unduly severe and/or harsh.”
