The man who killed homeless woman Shirley Rogers seven years ago, has 230 days more to spend behind bars.
When Sean Christopher Inniss, 51, of Taylor’s Gap, Hindsbury Road, and 1st Avenue Prescod Bottom, Bank Hall, both in St Michael, returned to Supreme Court No. 2A yesterday for sentencing, Justice Elwood Watts used a starting point of 12 years in prison. After deductions for Inniss’ early guilty plea, time spent on remand and the delay in the case coming to trial, the convicted man was left with less than a year to go.
On June 30 this year, he had pleaded guilty to manslaughter of Rogers sometime between February 13 and 14, 2018. She died on a bench opposite Savings Plus Supermarket, after receiving a single slash to the throat.
Prosecutor State Counsel Dr Zoe King had previously told the court that on February 14, 2018, the police emergency line received a call about an elderly lady lying on a bench on Princess Alice Highway, The City, covered with a blood-soaked blanket. (SD)
