A SENTENCE of 12 years has been imposed on an Arima man who assisted a relative in the 2014 abduction of a Brasso Seco family and the subsequent murders of three of its members, including an infant.

Joshua Janet, 28, received the penalty yesterday after admitting his guilt to 21 serious criminal offences, which included three counts of murder, before High Court judge Nalini Singh.
