FIVE YEARS after admitting to killing Jeswene Belle between February 19 and 20, 2002, Trevor St Elmo Ashley Taylor was sentenced yesterday by the Supreme Court.
It comes 14 years after the 65-year-old woman was found dead next to her Melverton, St George home after leaving church the night before.
A prison term of five years and three months was the sentence imposed by Justice Randall Worrell on the 52-year-old man who pleaded guilty to manslaughter on May 19, 2011. The sentence starts from yesterday August 3.
The sentence, the judicial officer told Taylor who stood in the dock of the No. 2 Supreme Court yesterday morning, came with the “full discount” of the 12 years and nine months he spent on remand, after the starting point of 18 years for the charge. (GBM)
