Guilty verdict in Divonte Hernandez murder case
A Grand Court jury on Monday delivered a unanimous guilty verdict against George Orlando Senior for the 2023 murder of Divonte Hernandez.
After four days of deliberations, the jury of five men and seven women convicted Senior, 36, of killing 25-year-old Hernandez in front of his young daughter and others in a daring daytime shooting at a car park off Sound Way in George Town on the morning of 29 Sept. 2023.
Co-accused Bianca Vega, 34, who was tried on a charge of accessory after the fact to murder, because she had hidden Senior following the shooting, was found not guilty by the jury – also unanimously.
Following the verdicts, which the jury delivered shortly after 2:30pm, Vega sobbed in the dock. Senior, sitting next to her, did not show any outward reaction to the verdicts.
