The man who had been accused of murdering Dwane Williams, the Linden vendor who was found dead in 2020 behind a shack in the mining town, has been handed a life sentence.
Larry DaSilva was found guilty of the charge earlier this month, but his sentencing had been deferred to facilitate the presentation of probation and other social impact reports.
At his sentencing hearing on Thursday, Justice Sandil Kissoon imposed the life sentence on DaSilva, ordering that he serve a minimum of 25 years before being considered eligible for parole.
