Man gets 13 years for manslaughter
Justice James Bovell Drakes handed down a 13-year jail term to a Kaow Island, Essequibo River man early last week who pleaded guilty to killing his drinking partner in 2013. Basdeo, a/k” Papo” admitted to fatally inflicting one single stab wound on his partner which subsequently resulted in the man’s death.
A police report stated that some time during 2013, at Kaow Island in the Essequibo River, Basdeo and the now deceased, Nabert Caesar Bradford, were imbibing alcohol, at Basdeo’s home.
Basdeo sent the man to a shop to purchase alcohol. During an argument which later ensued between the two men, Basdeo went into his kitchen and armed himself with a kitchen knife which he used to stab Bradford.
However before Basdeo was sentenced, the Judge reminded him of the nature and seriousness of the offence.
