A MAN from Fyzabad who disguised himself, armed with an illegal firearm and carried out a calculated attack on the mother of his young son will have to spend just over 12 more years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter.

Vishal Birju, also known as Cousin, appeared before Justice Trevor Jones in the San Fernando High Court for sentencing on December 11, in relation to the January 2020 killing of 28-year-old insurance agent Gabriella Amanda Dubarry.

She was shot dead at her Avocat Village, Fyzabad home. Although originally charged with murder, the State accepted a plea to manslaughter on the basis of provocation.
