Four years were shaved off the sentence that Fachad Shaquille Cadogan got for killing a man six years ago.

It was in December 2017 that Cadogan, of Well Road, Wavell Avenue, Black Rock, St Michael, was sentenced, by Justice Jacqueline Cornelius, to 14 years for unlawfully killing Tristan Barker on May 16, 2014.

He was originally charged with Barker’s murder but pleaded not guilty to that count and guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter.

He was represented by Queen’s Counsel Michael Lashley and attorneys Khadisha Wickham, Faith Greaves-Agard and Ronshalee Proverbs, while Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Alliston Seale and Crown Counsel Oliver Thomas appeared for the Crown. (HLE)
