NARESH Ally, known as ‘Little Robbery,’ has pleaded guilty to the 2018 killing of 22-year-old Romeza Sukdeo in Parika, East Bank Essequibo (EBE).
Ally, 42, appeared before Justice Peter Hugh at the Demerara High Court on Thursday, where he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter, following an indictment for murder.
Justice Hugh postponed Ally’s sentencing to October 17, 2024, to allow for the preparation of a probation report, victim impact statements, and the submission of aggravating and mitigating factors. Attorney Caressa Henry is prosecuting the case, while Kean Trotman is representing the confessed killer.
Sukdeo’s body was discovered on November 11, 2018, under a tree near Hydronie Market Road, Parika, EBE. A security guard in the area found the partially decomposed remains and notified the police. A post-mortem revealed that Sukdeo died from strangulation and blunt force trauma to the head.
Ally, also of Parika, reportedly confessed to the killing, stating that an argument between him and Sukdeo escalated, leading to her strangulation.
It was previously reported that Sukhdeo had a long history of substance abuse, and her family had made multiple unsuccessful attempts to help her overcome her struggles and return home.
