With her plea for a probation report being granted, Hofosawa Awena Rutherford’s sentencing for the poisoning deaths of her two children was yesterday deferred until April 9th.
In a brief address, the convict begged Justice Navindra Singh at the High Court in Georgetown for mercy, while requesting that a probation report be done before her sentencing.
“Your Honour, I am asking for mercy and leniency; and please for a probation report,” a composed Rutherford, who had fainted after the jury convicted her on Thursday, said softly.
