Daniel Watson who in 2018 held his reputed wife’s head under water, causing her to suffocate, was yesterday sentenced to 18 years behind bars for her killing, after pleading to the charge of manslaughter.
Initially indicted for the capital offence of murder, Watson through his attorney indicated his desire to plead to the lesser charge which was accepted by Justice Sandil Kissoon and the prosecution.
He would then go on to admit that he had unlawfully killed Lowtie Atwaroo called “Mona” on May 21st, 2018 at Herstelling, East Bank Demerara.
