Donald Sheriff who was charged with the murder of New Amsterdam labourer Keron Nicholson in May 2020, yesterday opted to plead guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter when he appeared at the High Court in Berbice.
Nicholson, 33, succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) on March 18, 2020, some 10 days after he was allegedly involved in an altercation with Sheriff.
However, police were only able to apprehend Sheriff in May 2020, at Stone Creek Backdam, Mahdia after which he was charged at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court with murdering Nicholson sometime between May 8, 2020 and May, 17, 2020 at Patrick’s Dam, Angoy’s Avenue.
