Davanand Narine was yesterday morning sentenced to 18 years in prison for the 2019 stabbing death of his wife Farida Khayum, but following a number of deductions, will be spending just about the next seven years behind bars.
At his sentencing hearing yesterday morning, Narine who said he was sorry for his actions, told the Court that while it was difficult at the time “to walk away,” having had three years to reflect, that is exactly what he should have done.
“I could have walked away,” he said as his voice cracked.
