Nicolas Shawn Williams, who killed his former partner, Clarabel Johnson, in 2020, was sentenced to five years and 11 months in prison after pleading guilty to the crime.
The sentencing occurred on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, before Justice Jo-Ann Barlow at the High Court in Demerara.
The court began with an 18-year baseline sentence but deducted three years for mitigating factors, reducing it to 15 years. An additional one-third, or five years, was subtracted for Williams’ early guilty plea. His time in custody—four years and one month since October 2020—was further deducted, leaving a final sentence of five years and 11 months.
