Kurt ‘Banana’ Erskine was found guilty of manslaughter by a 12-member jury after being on trial for murder. He is expected to be sentenced on March 28.
On February 28, his other co-accused Fazeel Bacchus was sentenced to six and a half years by Justice Morris-Ramlall.
He was released from prison the next day on time served. Bacchus had also pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was used as a state witness in Erskine’s trial.
According to reports, at about 00:10 hrs on July 5, 2015, the businessman had just returned home and was about to use the outside bathroom when he was confronted by four men.
He was shot several times about his body by the armed men, who took away his licensed firearm, jewellery and a wallet and then escaped.
Ramlall was later pronounced dead at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
