A La Romaine woman who enlisted a co-worker to kill her abusive husband in 2008 has been sentenced to time served by a High Court judge.

Rasha Sobrian and Rown Campbell were originally charged with the murder of Lester Sobrian, who was killed on March 15, 2008. However, both pleaded guilty to manslaughter under a plea deal with the state.

Justice Devan Rampersad sentenced Campbell to 28 years in prison, with a remaining term of one year and nine months to serve. Sobrian, having already spent 23 years on remand, was released on three years of probation and ordered to undergo counselling. Both received a one-third reduction in their sentences for their guilty pleas, and their time spent in custody was deducted from the final term.
