A Manzanilla man has been sentenced to over six years in prison for his role in the killing of sawmill owner John Ramoutar in 2014.
Arnold Ashton was sentenced on June 6 after pleading guilty to felony murder as part of a plea deal with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. He appeared before Justice Gail Gonzales.
The judge began with a 27-year prison sentence, but after giving credit for Ashton’s guilty plea and time already spent in custody, he was left with a final sentence of six years, five months, and 17 days of hard labour.
