The Cumberland, East Canje Berbice, fisherman who last month pleaded guilty to the 2021 murder of overseas-based Guyanese businessman Hemraj Pardesi was last week sentenced to life in prison at the High Court in Berbice.
Mario Bissoondial, a fisherman of Cumberland Village, East Canje, Berbice late last month appeared at the High Court in Berbice before Justice Jo-Ann Barlow where he had entered his guilty plea.
In August, 2021, Bissoondial was charged with murdering Pardesi at his Lot 9 Reliance Settlement house in the furtherance of a robbery.
