Octogenarian to spend another four years in jail for killing wife

80-year-old Gordon Leslie Durant has been sentenced to another four years behind bars for the killing of his wife Joan, whom he buried in an unfinished bathroom at their Melanie North, East Coast Demerara home 10 years ago.

The seemingly apologetic Durant said that he was sorry for what he had done, that it never should have happened and as he begged for leniency; told Justice Jo-Ann Barlow that if only he could have, “I would ah bring her back to life.”

In a seeming bid nonetheless to provide an explanation for his actions on the fateful day, Durant who told the court that he loved and misses his wife said “she attacked me; she cuffed me to my face and throw me down on the ground.”
