Guyanese jailed for 45 years for U. S. murder

TIMES INT'L

28-year-old Guyanese man was sentenced to 45 years in prison last Friday in the United States, a sentence that prompted his mother to launch into a tirade aimed at the victim’s family.

A jury convicted Parasurama Rabindranauth of murder in January, returning the verdict in about an hour and a half.

Although he has contended the killing was in self-defence, Rabindranauth said last Friday in Waterbury Superior Court that the shooting was his fault, and he was sorry for what he had done.

“If I could take it back, I would take my own life,” he said in a calm, soft-spoken voice.

At the heart of the dispute that led to the 2009 shooting of 38- year-old Michael Sembhudyal was a heated exchange between Sembhudyal and Rabindranauth. (Republican American)
