Nine men who were once charged with the high-profile kidnapping and murder of businesswoman Vindra Naipaul-Coolman have won their appeal reclaiming a $20 million payout from the state.
In a majority decision, the Court of Appeal on June 9 reinstated the compensation they had initially been awarded.
Justices Nolan Bereaux and Mark Mohammed formed the majority, setting aside a previous judge’s decision to block the payout and restoring both the default judgment and the original order by the master of the court.
