Dhanraj Theophilus has been sentenced to 12 years behind bars for the 2018 fatal beating of his then 18-year-old common-law wife, Lorinda Thomas, with whom he shared a child.
The sentence was handed down yesterday morning at the High Court in Demerara by Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, following the presentation of a probation and other social impact reports.
The Judge has ordered that Theophilus participate in the prison’s rehabilitative programmes such as alcoholic anonymous (AA) sessions, vocational training and the family reconciliation programme.
