Sentenced earlier this month to death for murdering his god-brother, British teenager Dominic Bernard, back in 2015 at Kildonan, Corentyne; Aaron Hing has filed an appeal, challenging what he describes as a severe sentence.
His accomplice Staymon George who had admitted guilt for the part he played in the gruesome slaying of the young man, has also filed an appeal—now arguing—that his attorney Ravindra Mohabir had forced him to plead to the charge.
He argues that his guilty plea was “not unequivocal,” while adding, “it was as a result of pressure/inducement” by Mohabir who he names in his notice of appeal.
