Corentyne man who fatally beat wife in 2017 begs for mercy

A Corentyne man who opted to plead guilty to manslaughter last month for his wife’s murder in 2017, yesterday begged the court for mercy as he claimed to have learned his lesson, adding that he did not expect the mother of three to die.

Raywatram Mooloo, also known as ‘Adesh’, and ‘Cow Curry,’ 31, of Lot 36 Number 58 Village, Corentyne, Berbice, had appeared before Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall where he entered the plea of guilty last month at the High Court in Berbice.

Representing the state was attorney-at-law, Nafeeza Baig, while Mooloo was represented by attorney-at-law, Surihya Sabsook.
