Anil Sancharra, also known as “Dan Pole” and “Rasta,” and Vinod Gopaul, also known as “Magga,” are convicted of the 2020 murders of cousins Joel Henry and Isaiah Henry. The verdict is delivered by a 12-member jury after deliberations in the Berbice High Court on Tuesday afternoon. The trial is heard before Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall.
According to reporting, the jury returns a guilty verdict following presentation of the prosecution’s case. One outlet states that the prosecution relies heavily on Akash Singh as part of its evidence presented during the trial.
Following the conviction, sentencing is scheduled for June 26. The court’s next steps focus on determining the penalties for both men in relation to the murders of the two cousins from West Coast Berbice.
The sources agree on the identities of the two accused, the victims, the court and judge overseeing the trial, the jury’s guilty verdict, and the date set for sentencing.
