The three men who shot and killed Prashad Nagar electrical engineer Saleem Azeez Abdool back in 2014, were each sentenced to 11 and a ½ years in prison after pleading to manslaughter charges before Justice Navindra Singh yesterday afternoon.
In teary-eyed apologetic pleas to Abdool’s family for forgiveness, Glenroy Griffith, Gerald Warde and Julian Mack each said that their actions on that fateful day were foolish and not only are they now embarrassed by it but more particularly the devastation they have caused the young man’s family.
The jointly-charged trio had originally been indicted for the capital offence, but opted to plead instead to the lesser offence.
