A Brighton man, on Wednesday pleaded guilty to murder just before a jury was empanelled for his trial.
Keshurn Sayers, 30, pleaded guilty to a charge that on Aug. 16, 2019, at Diamond, he murdered Sylvan Nanton, of Diamond.
Director of Public Prosecutions, Sejilla Mc Dowall then withdrew a second count on the indictment.
Defence counsel Jomo Thomas asked the court that psychiatric and social inquiry reports be ordered ahead of the sentencing, which Justice Brian Cottle set for Jan. 17, 2024.
Nanton, a 41-year-old building contractor, died at the scene after being shot around 6 a.m. in Diamond on Aug. 16, 2019.
Nanton was sitting in a car with a younger female when he was shot.
Reports at the time were that the female had been in a relationship with Sayers.
In the days after the killing, Kenroy Nanton, an older brother of the deceased, told iWitness News he believes the death was linked to a younger female with whom the deceased had a relationship.
Just a question with an average of 40 murderers a year. Let suppose an average 0f 5 is charged, convicted sentenced . It means for the last 10 years. Where is the government going to find accommodation to house these miscreants? Our institution in Belisle is probably packed like sardines.
Long tem residents of Belisle include the Primus’s, the Isreal the Collin Coco Brown and the list goes on. What a calamity. How much it cost to feed these prisoners? The Social impact of overcrowding is telling on the lives of its occupants . This is something that needs to be addressed.
