Ryan Singh, the man accused of killing his teenage girlfriend by slitting her throat in July, 2017, was earlier this month sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Justice Simone Morris Ramlall sentenced Singh after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter at the High Court in Berbice.
Singh was represented by Attorney at Law, Mursaline Bacchus, while the state was represented by Attorney at Law, Tuanna Hardy.
In August, 2017, Singh, formerly of Eccles, East Bank Demerara, was charged with murdering Parbattie Lakhpal, 16, of Lot 369 Number Two Village, East Canje, Berbice.
Lakhpal, also known as ‘Rosanna,’ was discovered with her throat slit in the living room of her apartment around 1 pm on July 29. Singh, with whom she had shared a live-in relationship for more than a year, allegedly slit the teen’s throat during a fight after which he had fled the scene.
Some eleven days after the murder, Singh was held in Nickerie, Suriname and was then subsequently handed over to authorities in Guyana. He was then charged and remanded to prison.
