(Kaieteur News) – Shaquawn Alleyne, also known as ‘IsWe’, was on Thursday sentenced to 25 years imprisonment for the 2021 murder of his 21-year-old girlfriend, Shonnette Dover, who was shot in the head and buried in a shallow grave in the backyard of his Canvas City, Wismar, Linden, Region 10 home.

The time Alleyne spent in custody since January 2024 will be deducted from his 25 years sentence.

Alleyne was sentenced by Justice Sandil Kissoon at the Demerara High Court after pleading guilty to the capital offence earlier this month under a plea agreement between the defence and the state.
