[www.inewsguyana.com] – Bibi Shareema Gopaul and Barry Small were moments ago found guilty for the murder of 16-year-old Neesa Gopaul whose body was found in a black suitcase along theSoesdyke/Linden Highway in 2010.
The murdered teen’s mother was sentenced to 106 years imprisonment while the stepfather was sentenced to 96 years.
Small called ‘Barry’ and Sharima-Gopaul, the mother of the murdered teen, were on trial before Justice Navindra Singh and a 12-member jury. Gopaul’s body was found at Madewini along the Linden/Soesdyke Highway tucked inside a suitcase that was partially submerged in a creek. A rope was wrapped around the body and on its other end, dumbbells were attached, apparently in an effort to keep the body under water.
Inside the suitcase, a passport (Number 0730108) bearing the name Neesa Lalita Gopaul, along with a bank card, was found.
