Pleading guilty to the charge of manslaughter for killing his partner Reona Payne whom he shot some 14 times back in 2018, former Guyana Defence Force (GDF) captain Orwain Sandy now awaits sentencing which will be delivered next Tuesday.
Appearing before Justice Sandil Kissoon at the High Court in George-town on Monday, Sandy denied the charge of murder for which he was originally indicted, pleading, however, to the lesser count of manslaughter.
He admitted that on March 31st, 2018, he unlawfully killed the woman at First Street, Alexander Village. He was a captain in the GDF at the time.
