A man who unintentionally hit his two-month-old son with the buckle of his belt, from which injury the child subsequently died, was yesterday sentenced to eight years in prison, after pleading guilty to manslaughter before Justice Navindra Singh.
James Hunt, 42, called “Dougla,” who was initially indicted for murder, pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter, which was accepted by the State and Court.
