“Trini” gets life imprisonment for murdering remigrant Agriculturalist
Keino Corbin, also known as “Trini,” was on Wednesday sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after serving 11 years, nine months for the 2016 murder of remigrant agriculturist Anthony Breedy.
Justice Jo-Ann Barlow handed down the sentence in the High Court. Last month, Corbin, 25, of Timehri, East Bank Demerara (EBD) confessed that between March 12 - 14, 2016, at Hill Foot, Soesdyke-Linden Highway, he murdered 60-year-old Breedy.
A probation report stated that Corbin, who spent most of his life in Trinidad & Tobago before returning to Guyana in 2015, had associated himself with persons of “questionable” character.
“I am begging for another chance to go out into society and show them that I am a changed person. I does always regret what transpired because I’m not that kind of person,” the father of two told the court.
Corbin was represented by Attorney-at-Law Ravindra Mohabir, while State Counsel Latifah Elliott appeared on behalf of the prosecution.
Corbin, along with Paul Gorriah and Donnel Trapp, were jointly charged with the man’s murder. Trapp, called “Shortman,” was remanded to face another trial after a jury failed to arrive at a verdict on the evidence led against him.
Breedy was discovered in the bottom flat of his Lot 67 Hill Foot, Soesdyke/Linden Highway home at around 11:00h on March 14, 2016.
The pensioner’s hands and feet were bound, and his head was bashed in. A piece of wood suspected to be the murder weapon was found next to him.
A Post Mortem Examination (PME) conducted on the man’s remains revealed that he died due to asphyxia due to manual strangulation compounded by multiple blunt trauma to the head.
