‘Hot Skull’ gets life sentence over killing of Better Hope pensioner

Sherwin Clarke, also known as ‘Hot Skull,’ has been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole only after he serves a minimum of 20 years for the 2016 killing of Better Hope pensioner David Ramkissoon during a home invasion.

The sentence was handed down yesterday afternoon by Justice Sandil Kissoon, who lamented the “cruel and callous” manner in which the senior citizen met his gruesome demise at the hands of daring and brazen persons whom he noted had scant regard for life. 

Just under a month ago, Clarke was arraigned and placed on trial for the septuagenarian’s murder after pleading not guilty to the capital indictment.
