Sophia man gets 19 years for killing wife

Sophia resident Wazim Perreira, who back in 2019 killed his former reputed wife by drenching her with gasoline and setting her alight, has been sentenced to 19 years behind bars, less the time he has since spent on remand.

The offender has been in pretrial custody for the past four years.  

On September 9th, 2019 at Sophia, Georgetown, Perreira set Olivia DeFreitas alight. The woman had to be admitted to the Burn Care Unit of the Georgetown Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where she succumbed to her injuries a month later.
