For what the State described as “gruesome” treatment unleashed on his victim/survivor, Corentyne resident Broan Luke has been sentenced to 20 years in jail for raping a woman at knife-point after breaking into her house.
At his sentencing-hearing yesterday, Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall remarked that Luke had violated the woman in the “most perverse” of ways, with scant regard for her two-year-old granddaughter who was present.
Earlier this month, Luke threw himself at the mercy of the Court, pleading guilty to charges of rape, assault, robbery and burglary.
