Ryan Alberts

Ryan Alberts who in a drunken rage back in 2016 stabbed and killed one of his friends and injured another who intervened as a peacemaker, was yesterday sentenced to four years in prison by Justice Jo-Ann Barlow.

Last November, Alberts, 23, also known as ‘Murray’ pleaded guilty to the charges of manslaughter and assault causing actual bodily harm.

He accepted that on March 29th, 2016 at Yarakita, North West District in the County of Essequibo, he unlawfully killed Dalton Emmanuel and assaulted Mark Edwards so as to cause him actual bodily harm.
