Comments 0 | Recommend 0
NEW YORK -- A former New York City police officer has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for fatally shooting his 22-year-old fiance during an off-duty argument. Queens District Attorney Richard Brown called Harry Rupnarine's act senseless. The 39-year-old former officer was sentenced Friday. A jury had convicted him of murder in September. Rupnarine and his fiance, Guiatree Hardat, of Brooklyn, were arguing at a bus stop in Queens on May 10, 2007, when he shot her in the head with his Glock 9-mm handgun. Hardat had emigrated from Guyana and was attending college to become a high school math teacher when she was killed. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
