Three men from Guyana, con­vict­ed of kid­nap­ping and mur­der­ing a busi­ness­man be­fore dump­ing his body in a sep­tic tank, have been re­leased af­ter spend­ing over four decades in prison.

In Jan­u­ary 1988, the trio were con­vict­ed of the mur­der of Ash­ton Ramkha­lawans­ingh and were sen­tenced to death by hang­ing.
