TRINIDAD & TOBAGO:

Another man on death row in TT


Another prisoner has been added to death row in Trinidad.

On Wednesday 25-year-old Ramzan Bachan was sentenced to hang for the
murder of taxi driver Elwyn Sampson.

Bachan was found guilty of killing Mr. Sampson in November 2001, after he
and 2 others hijacked the taxi.

Justice Devan Rampersad imposed the death penalty in the Port of Spain
Third Criminal Court.

Mr. Bachans accomplices were 15-year-old Aaron Ramnath and Daniel
Goolcharan.

The teenager was granted immunity from prosecution in exchange for his
evidence, while Goolcharan reached a plea agreement with the state and
pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

He is now serving 5 years in jail.
