Finding the 25 years imposed upon him for the unlawful killing of businessman, Ashok Raghoo, to have been appropriate, the Guyana Court of Appeal has affirmed the sentence against Travis McDougall and dismissed his appeal.
Though indicted for murder, a jury back in 2017 had found McDougall guilty of manslaughter, for unlawfully killing the businessman during a robbery on August 18th, 2014 at the Vlissingen Road and Regent Street traffic lights.
Among other things, McDougall, (the Appellant) had argued that the sentence imposed upon him was excessive when compared with what he described as comparable cases to his.
