Sitting in Guyana and delivering judgment in a local case, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) yesterday denied the application for special leave to appeal by a man who was handed two life sentences for raping a child back in 2017.
As the Guyana Court of Appeal had unanimously found, the Trinidad-based court of last resort affirmed the convictions and imposition of the two concurrent life sentences on the convict, with eligibility for parole after 20 years.
To protect the identity of the complainant, the applicant was not named in the CCJ judgment.
