Local | By Correspondent April 23, 2019

WILLEMSTAD - Two of the three men who were imprisoned for 13 years for the murder of Edward "Wotty" Leito, on 3 April 2017, have been given three more years on appeal.

The third man, who also had to sit for 13 years, was acquitted. According to the judges, the evidence against him is too thin.

The robbery, in which Leito was shot, was recorded on security cameras at the time. Both parties can appeal to the Supreme Court within 14 days.
