Keyon King, the former Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Sergeant who admitted to his role in August’s $58 million Wallison Enterprise gold heist at Kitty, was yesterday sentenced to serve the next three years in jail.
King, 32, was sentenced by Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in Georgetown to three years for each of the four charges to which he had admitted. The sentences will be served concurrently and as a result he would only serve three years in total.
King had pleaded guilty to the charges last month and blamed pressures to provide for his family for driving him to participate in the crimes.
