Pregnant Trini wife killed in Canada: Husband sentenced
The Guyanese man who stabbed to death his nine-month pregnant Trinidadian wife, at their home in Pickering, Canada, back in 2017 has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 17 years.
Nicholas Baig, 27, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder of Arianna Goberdhan earlier this year. The charge carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 10 to 25 years under the Criminal Code.
During a sentencing hearing in an Oshawa courtroom on Thursday, Ontario Superior Court Justice Jocelyn Speyer ordered that Baig serve at least 17 years in prison. She cited Baig's guilty plea and the "senseless act of cruelty" as reasons for her decision.
But Goberdhan’s mother, Sherry Goberdhan, said she was not pleased.
Goberdhan is now demanding justice for her unborn grandchild.
