“Heinous, diabolical, calculated and brutal,” were among the words Justice Sandil Kissoon used to describe the manner in which Staymon George snuffed out the life of British teenager Dominic Bernard, back in 2015.
Before imposing a life sentence on George yesterday afternoon Justice Kissoon said that from the facts of the case, the teen’s fate had been sealed by the premeditated nature of the violence meted out against him, from which he could not escape.
Little did he know that at the time he boarded that flight from the UK his grave had already been dug by George and others in the Nurney Backlands, Corentyne, Berbice, the judge said.
