Fifty-four-year-old Dhanraj Theophilus is set to be sentenced on February 5th for the 2018 fatal beating of his then 18-year-old common-law wife, Lorinda Thomas, with whom he shared a child.
At his indictment before Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the High Court in Demerara earlier this month, Theophilus pleaded guilty to unlawfully killing the teen on January 18th, 2018, at Barima Line, Baramita, North West District.
He had been originally charged with murder, but pleaded to the lesser offence of manslaughter.
