Joel Ferrier, who was initially indicted for the murder of 20-year-old Alberttown resident Sulé Brian Assanah, on October 7, 2012, has been sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment.
Ferrier was sentenced by Justice Navindra Singh after he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter at the High Court yesterday.
According to the details of the case, Ferrier, 47, had stabbed the victim, in the presence of a police officer at the corner of Fourth and Light Streets, Alberttown after he came to the assistance of the said officer.
