Like his co-convict had done in a challenge filed before the Guyana Court of Appeal, Kelvin Persaud is also arguing that his life sentence for the 2017 murder of Cayenne-based clothes vendor Purcell Moore, was too severe.
Like Selwyn Dawson, Persaud is contending that his sentence was “too severe” in all of the circumstances of his case. It is currently the lone ground on which he has mounted his challenge before the local appellate court.
The appeals are yet to be heard.
