Kaieteur News – Two men were on Monday found guilty of murdering grocer Lomenzo Johnny from Rose Hall back in February 2020.
Murdered, Lomenzo Johnny
Convicted Killer, Satram Kushlay
Case against Satram Kushlay and Bilall McLennon was heard at the Berbice High Court before Justice Sandil Kissoon. Sentencing for the now-convicted killers has been deferred until February 20, 2024, at 15:00 hours, when a probation and other social impact reports will be presented to the court.
Attorneys-at-Law Kevin Morgan and Alaira Murphy-Goodman are the defense attorneys while State Counsel Muntaz Ali presented the case for the prosecution. Johnny lost his life during the course of a robbery at his home, and on the morning of February 27, 2020, he was found with his feet bound together by black shoe laces. The man also had what appeared to be strangulation marks on his neck on a farm at area ‘AA’, Portuguese Quarters, Port Mourant, a short distance from where he lived.
Convicted Killer, Bilall McLennon
He had a bloodied face and a puncture wound was above his left eye. His cause of death would later be determined as multiple injuries. The home where he lived alone was ransacked and there were no signs of forced entry. The intruders however took a safe that was located in the top flat of the home.
The grocer was seen alive for the last time around 19:30 hours on the evening of the previous day, when he went for his routine exercise through the street.
