A High Court judge has sentenced Shervon Darvick “Batman” Grant for the 2014 killing of Damien Alexander, leaving him with a little over four years left to serve after credit for time already spent in custody.

Grant, 42, of Upper La Puerta, Diego Martin, appeared before Justice Devan Rampersad earlier this week after pleading guilty to manslaughter (unlawful act) arising out of a fatal altercation outside a St James bar nearly 12 years ago.

According to the agreed facts, the incident occurred around 4.10 am on June 7, 2014, at the corner of Brunton Road and the Western Main Road. Police were called to the scene outside the Dusk Till Dawn Casino, where Alexander was found bleeding from a severe wound to his neck. He was taken to the St James Hospital and later transferred to the Port of Spain General Hospital, where he died.
