With credit for time served and other deductions from an 18-year sentence, Faizal Bacchus was yesterday released from prison over the 2015 killing of proprietor of the Regent Multiplex Mall, Ganesh Ramlall.
A week ago, Bacchus pleaded guilty to the charge of manslaughter, accepting that he, together with others, had unlawfully killed the businessman during a robbery at the man’s La Jalousie, West Coast Demerara home on July 5th, 2015.
Bacchus, called ‘Javid’ had originally been indicted for the capital charge of murder, but at his arraignment last week, pleaded to the lesser offence. His sentencing had been deferred.
