George Paton who the prosecution said was the getaway driver in the robbery, during which Bourda Market cheese vendor Troy Ramalho was shot and killed in 2018, has been sentenced to just about eight years.
Though having previously thrown himself at the mercy of the Court and having pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter, Paton at his sentencing hearing yesterday remained adamant that he had nothing to do with either the robbing or killing Ramalho.
While he said he was sincerely sorry that a life had been lost and express-ed his condolences to the wife and children for their loss, Paton said he had been receiving threats behind bars.
