Construction worker,Phillip Brown the construction worker who a year ago killed his ex-girlfriend at Crystal Towers on Old Hope Road in St Andrew was on Friday sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Brown, who is 36 years old, will have to serve ten years before becoming eligible for parole.
Mr. Brown pleaded guilty in October to using a sledge hammer to inflict head wounds to 31 year old Kerry Ann Wilson last December while she was asleep.
Miss Wilson was pregnant.
He wrapped the body in tarpaulin and was attempting to throw it in a nearby gully when he was accosted by the watchman at the apartmernt complex.
Mr. Brown left and surrendered to the police a day later.
During the sentence hearing on Friday, his attorney, Anthony Williams, said Mr. Brown was traumised by Miss Wilson breaking off their relationship and becoming pregnant for another man.
He said his client loved Miss Wilson and was trying to reconcile with her to save the relationship.
The two had a child together.
Mr. Williams said his client was remorseful.
In passing sentence, Justice Martin Gayle told Brown that he had no love for Ms Wilson as he killed her after having s*x with her.
The judge said he was concerned by comments by Brown who reportedly told members of his community that he would only get seven years in prison.
15 years !
He should’ve gotten life with no parole.
He killed that woman while she slept. Couldn’t even defend herself
And her unborn child.
He murdered 2 people and is eligible for parole in 10 !!
And Kartel gets life – well that’s another topic
Him and Kartel fi get life without parole .
The diff widbhim a andnkartel is that him plead guilty Kartel didn’t . Kartel pride made him go to trial for a case he was guilty of.
We ought not to tell a Judge SYM even if dem deserve it.We have to respect the ruling of the Court.
Suh a just 15 years dem gi dah dead dog yah? Mi convince seh the Jamaican judicial system consists of a bunch of idiots. He kill her and her unborn child and its just 15 years him get and possible parole after 10 years? This can’t be fair.
15 years fi murder & dem a gi drugs man 25yrs?? Sumn coulda go suh???? The drankro shoulda get life in prison with no parole none tall. This is ridiculous. Wah mek dem think him nah go do the samething again when him come out?? Kt dis is just nonsense.
And kartel got 35yrs.. Without no body found.. This stinking mouth cunt killed his baby mother & her unborn & got 15yrs for this double killing that means 7 & half years he got for killing both mother & her unborn child.. So this dog shit only doing 5yrs each for both killings.. In my opinion the it should have been the jugde that sentence kartel should have sentenced him kmft Jamaica judicial system is a big joke
Kartel was responsible for more than 100 murders (so said the former commissioner of police). I not sure why the police is not going after him for those other murders. He is lucky he only got 35 years and is still alive.
Exactly . Kartel is a known murderer . Jamaica better when him in prison cause the murder rate would go up more.
What ppl love Kartel for ? His music and him a still a release it while in prison so everybody happy .
Ps. If Kartel did plead guilty before trial, he probably would have gotten about 15 years too but he wanted to play hero so he got 35 years.
Men wah talk through dem teeth ah di devil. Dem deceitful and show no emotions. They are often precieved as soft n gentle but there is a monster inside them.
15 years? I would terrorize him for the rest of his life. All inna prison- send him letters (torture him w/ words).
but ninja get 25 to life.. plus she did pregnant a 2 murder him commit.
he pleaded Guilty and medically proven to be Insane
You females are too rmotional to be on a jury 😀 😀
The man got 15 yrs because it was a crime of passion (mental), he turned himself in, plead guilty and shows REMORSE. All of these things are factored into the outcome if a case.
No 2 crime are ever alike. Unu quick pon the kartel defense 😀 😀 :D. Did he make the case/trial easy? 😀 kmrt
