Twenty-five-year-old Timothy McKenzie now awaits sentencing after a jury yesterday afternoon convicted him for the 2018 killing of Richard Noel.
Following hours of deliberations at the High Court in Demerara, the panel returned with its verdict acquitting McKenzie of the capital offence, but finding him guilty on the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Justice Sandil Kissoon who presided over the trial has, however, deferred sentencing to November 3rd, for the presentation of a probation and other social impact reports.
