Four years for manslaughter accused

Mar 31, 2009 News

Justice Brassington Reynolds yesterday sentenced Romel Simon, who pleaded guilty to lesser count of manslaughter, to four years.
Simon, 29, was initially charged with the March 25, 2005 murder of Keith Nobrega, which occurred at 45 Hadfield Street, Stabroek. However, he opted to plead to a lesser count of manslaughter during the trial.
Yesterday in court, a probation report was read. Simon’s mother, Mornwattie Simon, also testified.
She told the court that she was there when the incident occurred but begged for leniency for her son.
When asked if he had anything to say Romel Simon told the court that he knew Nobrega was his stepdaughter’s boyfriend.
According to Simon, he never intended to do anything to Nobrega. “He (Nobrega) was my friend.”
He added that he is very sorry for what happened. Simon said that on the night of the incident he parted a fight between Nobrega and another man. Subsequently, while trying to restrain him, Nobrega stabbed him three times with a knife.
