Arshad Ali

A West Berbice labourer who earlier this month pleaded guilty to the 2019 murder of a man whom he fatally struck with an iron bar was yesterday sentenced to thirty years in prison at the High Court in Berbice.

Kareem Charles, a labourer of Bennett Dam, Rosignol, West Bank Berbice, earlier this month appeared before Justice Jo-Ann Barlow at the High Court in Berbice where he entered his guilty plea.

Charles in March 2019, was charged with murdering Arshad Ali on March 1, 2019.
