Jealous lover convicted of murder – jailed for 83 years

JEALOUS lover, 24-year-old Michael Persaud called ‘Mikey’, was yesterday convicted of the murder of Maduri Padumdeo called ‘Sharda’, at the Demerara Assizes and sentenced to 83 years in prison by Presiding Judge, Justice Navindra Singh.

Following the jury’s unanimous verdict and before imposing sentence, Justice Singh told the accused, who walks with a limp, “You have shown no remorse. You did not tell the family you are sorry. You did not tell your five-year-old son (who was present in court) you are sorry. Throughout the trial you have been talking about something nasty. You seem to have a fantasy. And it is ironic where you will be going for a long time.”
Justice Singh continued: “Every session I have domestic felony cases before me, I shall add on six 6 years to my sentence beginning with this case…”
‘Mikey’ was on trial for the December 2011 murder of his then 21-year-old reputed wife, ‘Sharda’, of Lot 8 Sophia, Greater Georgetown.
