Jeremy Parchman and Shimar Kelly have each been sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison for the 2019 death of Sri Lankan national Dinesh Asanka Fernando Wannukawatta-Waduge.

Jeremy Parchman and Shimar Kelly have both been convicted of manslaughter in the 2019 death of Sri Lankan national Dinesh Asanka Fernando Wannukawatta-Waduge.

The manslaughter trial of two men accused in the death of Dinesh Fernando Wannukawatta-Waduge has begun in the Grand Court.

Three men charged in connection with the death of Dinesh Asanka Fernando Wannukawatta-Waduge have all denied the charges laid against them.

Police are looking for people they believe may have witnessed a violent assault that resulted in the death of a 36-year-old Sri Lankan man last month. “We know, without a doubt, there were about 75 to 100 people present in Bananas that night,” said RCIPS Detective Superintendent Pete Lansdown. “We probably estimate from the CCTV and inquiries that we have made that there are 20 to 25 people who probably saw what happened. We’ve had to put in as much effort to find witnesses as we’ve had to find and identify the suspects in this case.”

Jeremy Ralph Parchman, 20, of West Bay and Shimar Kelly, 22, of George Town are jointly charged with one count of manslaughter. Kevin Parchman, 24, who has been charged in relation to the same incident faces a single count of assault causing actual bodily harm.
