Almost five years to the day after he tried to kill a woman by severing one of her hands with a cutlass, former cane harvester Warren Dennis was on Friday handed an eight-year sentence for the crime.
However, with his time on remand awaiting trial being deducted from the sentence, Dennis will spend just about three more years in prison.
Last month, the 48-year-old man threw himself at the mercy of the Court and pleaded guilty to chopping the mother of three with a cutlass about her body on April 23, 2017, at Beterverwagting, East Coast Demerara.
