MURDER accused Nyabinghi Gobin, who is slated to stand trial at the High Court for fatally shooting a man in Tucville last year was on Wednesday sentenced to two years in jail on a charge of break and enter and larceny.City Magistrate Leron Daly convicted Gobin after she found him guilty of breaking into James Samuels’ dwelling house and carting off one Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun, a Glock pistol, 14, 9mm rounds, 58 shotgun cartridges and other items, all totaling $17.2 M.
The offence occurred between July 2 and July 4 at Relief, East Bank Demerara.
The magistrate ruled in the favour of Police Prosecutor, Corporal Bharat Mangru, since he had proved his case against Gobin beyond a reasonable doubt.
On August 12, Magistrate Fabayo Azore had committed Gobin, along with Edward Skeete, to stand trial at the next practicable sitting of the Demerara Assizes.
Magistrate Azore had announced that a prima facie case was made out against both men for the murder of Ryan Clementson, whose murder occurred between July 14 and July 24, 2015.
Clementson was in the vicinity of the Turning Point snackette in Tucville, Georgetown, when he was shot.
He was shot in the thigh and succumbed about two weeks later from a cardiac arrest after undergoing surgery.
