Scheduled to face what would have been his third and final trial for the 2013 Mashramani Day murder of Enterprise businessman Kumar Mohabir; Devon Thomas has instead thrown himself at the mercy of the Court, pleading guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
When the matter was called yesterday at the High Court in Demerara, Thomas denied the capital indictment read to him, but admitted on the lesser count that he had unlawfully killed Mohabir on the day in question.
Justice Jo-Ann Barlow before whom the matter was called has deferred sentencing to November 11th to first hear from a probation officer.
