The Court of Appeal yesterday set aside the conviction and 40-year sentence handed down to husband and wife, Nyron Thakurdyal and Vishwantie Ragnauth back in 2018 and ordered that they be retried at the next sitting of the Demerara Criminal Assizes.
The appeal was heard by acting Chancellor Yonette Cummings-Edwards and Justices of Appeal Dawn Gregory and Rishi Persaud.
In her ruling yesterday, the Chancellor said the defence’s case should have been properly put to the jury.
