Man, 21, gets time served for killing farmer in 2016

The now 21-year-old man who earlier this month pleaded guilty to the 2016 unlawful killing of Barima farmer Junior Moses, whom he stabbed during an argument, was on Tuesday released on time served.

Though now an adult, because he was charged as a juvenile in accordance with the Juvenile Justice Act, the young man’s identity continues to be protected.

He was 16 years old when he stabbed Moses once with a knife on the evening of November 23rd, 2016 at Ela Landing, Barima, North West District.

The then teen had been charged with murder.
