The psychological reports were not yet ready and as a result, killers Torrell Sergio Holligan and Kadeem Torian Wilkinson will have to wait a little longer before they are sentenced for murder.

Holligan, then 17, of Pool Land, No. 1, St John, and Wilkinson, also then 17, and a landscaper of Todd’s Land, St George, returned to the No. 2 Supreme Court on Tuesday, where they had pleaded guilty at a previous Session of the Continuous Sittings, to the non-capital murder of 48-year-old Kenrick “Jack” Spooner, of Pool Land, St John, on July 13, 2017.

Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Alliston Seale appeared for the Crown, while attorney Latisha Springer appeared for attorneys Angella Mitchell-Gittens and Sian Lange.

Justice Randall Worrell adjourned the matter until June 18 when lawyers from both sides are expected to make submissions on sentence. (HLE)
