A now 20-year-old man who, when he was 15, fatally stabbed Hemant Persaud in his heart during a robbery; is now awaiting sentencing after admitting his guilt.
“I lacked guidance—physical, spiritual, mental and emotional,” he yesterday told Justice Sandil Kissoon who enquired whether he had anything to say.
Begging for mercy, the man would then go on to plead with the Judge for an opportunity to correct what he described as his “wrongdoing,” and to continue his academic endeavours which he said he has since commenced in prison.
