Yuri Nicholas has been sentenced to eight years in prison for the May 3rd, 2019 unlawful killing of Elton Leonard at Karasabai Village, Rupununi, Region 9.
His sentence was handed down yesterday morning at the High Court in Georgetown by Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry who ordered that deductions be made for the time the offender would have spent on remand.
Nicholas who had originally been indicted for murder, pleaded to the lesser offence of manslaughter at his arraignment last month.
