Morris Fredericks, 24, was yesterday morning handed a 22-year sentence by Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall, for the 2011 killing of Linden resident, Alistair Crighton.
Fredericks, who was initially indicted for murder, pleaded guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter earlier this month, admitting that he unlawfully killed Crighton on November 29, 2011, at Kokerite Landing, Barima River.
His sentence was deferred for a probation report, which was presented to the court yesterday.
