A Berbice High Court jury on Wednesday found Krishna Tulapersaud not guilty of one count of sexual activity with a child family member after Justice Simone Morris had earlier directed jurors to return a formal not guilty verdict on a second count.

The verdict brought to an end Tulapersaud’s retrial, which was the final matter from the February 2026 Berbice Criminal Assizes.

Following legal submissions by the prosecution and defence, Justice Morris ruled that there was insufficient evidence for one of the charges to be left to the jury and instructed jurors to return a formal verdict of not guilty on that count.
