Following the completion of a second trial, Kevin Mohan, known as ‘Chucky,’ was yesterday afternoon convicted of the 2016 murder of his aunt, Anita Mohan, whom police say he stabbed to death and then robbed.
In response to the forewoman’s announcement of the jury’s unanimous verdict, a visibly distressed Mohan shook his head in apparent disbelief as he lowered it into the palms of his hands.
When given a chance to speak, the teary-eyed convict, whose first trial had ended in a hung jury earlier this year, maintained his innocence. “I geh jail innocent, and the only person who could judge me is Almighty Allah,” he repeatedly said in frustration.
Justice Sandil Kissoon, who presided over the trial, has deferred sentencing to August 26, to facilitate the presentation of a probation report.
The trial was heard at the High Court in Georgetown.
It was the prosecution’s case that on September 4, 2016, the man murdered his aunt, Anita, from whom he stole $10,000.
Anita Mohan, called ‘Sandra,’ 48, a vendor, was found dead by her son, Imtiaz Khan, lying on the kitchen floor of her 315 Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara home, with stab wounds about her upper body. The man had also said that his mother’s head was bashed in.
The convict is said to have stabbed his aunt to death at her Cummings Lodge home.
Police had said the man confessed to the crime and implicated an accomplice.
The accused was represented by defence attorney Damian Da Silva.
Meanwhile, the state’s case was led by Prosecutor Lisa Cave.
