Beverly Persaud, aged fifty-two and Oswald Yaw, 27, confessed to killing Nathan Persaud in September 2015.
Persaud and Yaw on Tuesday were executed for the murder of the block maker, and pleaded not guilty when they appeared before Justice Navindra Singh.
However, today, the duo indicated they no longer wanted to go to trial and instead pleaded guilty to murder.
Yaw, on September 10, 2015, in Herstelling, East Bank Demerara, is alleged to have murdered Nathan Persaud under a financial arrangement by Beverly Persaud.
According to reports, a neighbor heard screams from the house but did not think about investigating until a man was seen leaving the home several minutes later, awakening his suspicions.
The other neighbor alerted and proceeded to the house at 66 Herstelling New Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, where they discovered Nathan Persaud’s battered body.
A brick and hammer were found at the crime scene leading investigators to believe the objects had been used to assassinate Persaud. The man received several stab wounds to his body and his head was passed in.
The killing of the man was reportedly the result of a bitter property dispute he was having with his wife.
Persaud is represented by Attorney-in-Law Ravindra Mohabir, while Attorney-in-Law Rachael Bakker appears on Yaw’s behalf. The case for the prosecution is presented by State Counsel Teriq Mohammed and State Counsel Tiffini Lyken.
