FOUR men from Maracas and Maraval have received varying sentences for their roles in the killing of a woman and the attempted murder of her husband in 2017 in a fallout over a beach-chair rental agreement.

The charges against a fifth man were withdrawn by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) before the sentencing of the other four, whose plea agreement with the DPP's office was accepted by Justice Devan Rampersad.

Shane Seetal, Travis Fournillier, Jovon Ding Chong, Alphonse Boissierre and Olivio Giles Lucio were before the court charged with the murder of Kimberley Lewis and the attempted murder of farmer and shopkeeper Johnathan Garcia on the night of May 22, 2017.
