Razba Overstayed !! Appeals Court Orders His Release Forthwith
Razba Matthew is today a Free Man after the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal released him from jail fortwith after it was realized that the young man had overstayed his sentence.
In July 2011 Razba was sentenced to 7 years in Prison. However the sentence also included time served on remand. And as at the time of his appeal on October 12th 2015 he may have already served his time and more. This was drawn to the attention of the Appeals Court by Acting DPP Arudranauth Gossie.
