“I can not accept or forgive what they did … I would have understood if I had been involved in criminal cases, but it happened for no reason. I am an innocent victim, ”Roberto Celli testified emotionally in Montreal court yesterday.

The businessman, who is still swimming in complete misunderstanding, re-immersed himself in the drama he enjoyed on April 5, 2019 as a gift from Emmanuel Sarbonno and Jonathan Shinkenke.

At that time, Mr. Celly worked as a manager in a company that rents out a music studio, one of which was occupied by Sarbonno. To that extent, when a stranger called him on a lucky day, about the rent of the premises, the victim did not suspect anything. She went to meet him, believing he was going to meet a potential customer.

He can no longer work and live with disabilities.

“This is an event that still shocks me,” he said. Celli’s wife said her sister testified that “their lives have changed forever”.

Too soft

When he went to shoot the victim, Shinkenke admitted that he was “not going to play cards”.^And Alexandra Longville believes the king’s recommendation is too harsh. He recommends six years, taking into account the age and immaturity of his client.

M^And Richard Tavill recommended five years to his client Sarbonio for his part, insisting that he strictly respects his terms and that he has a stable job.
