Sukhdeo Dharamdat and his son, Ishwar Dharamdat, are now facing sentencing, after a jury yesterday afternoon convicted them both for the 2015 killing of their neighbour, Suresh Nandkishore.
While the elder Dharamdat was unanimously convicted for murder, the younger was found guilty in a proportion of 11 to 1, on the lesser offence of manslaughter.
Justice Navindra Singh, who presided over the trial, has, however, deferred sentencing to May 7, to facilitate the presentation of probation reports requested by defence attorney Pamela De Santos.
