Four years after Xavier Boyal was fatally shot at Puruni Landing, Cuyuni River, the man who confessed to killing him was on Friday sentenced to 15 years in jail for manslaughter.
Dein Evans, called ‘Rasta Beans’, 32, formerly of Charlestown, Georgetown, was sentenced by Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Suddie High Court.
Last month, Evans, who was charged with the capital offence of murder, opted to plead guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter. He admitted that on November 11, 2018, at Puruni Landing, he unlawfully killed Xavier Boyal.
