A 21-year-old man from Erin has been sentenced to 18 years in prison after admitting to murdering a Venezuelan migrant after committing a robbery in 2022.
Tyrece Austin, of Rancho Quemado, Erin, received the sentence on Wednesday after pleading guilty to murder, possession of a firearm and ammunition, and three counts of robbery with aggravation before Justice Nalini Singh.
Austin was allowed to plead guilty to the capital offence as he was 17-years-old when he committed the crime with a neighbour and could not face the mandatory death penalty.
