A 74-year-old man from Siparia, who killed his three-year-old son and disposed of his body almost four decades ago, will have to serve over three more years in prison before he can be released.
Phinis Warren, originally from Syne Village, Siparia, was given the death penalty when he was convicted of the heinous crime in 1991, but he was re-sentenced yesterday by High Court Judge Hayden St Clair-Douglas to 41 years in prison.
Justice St Clair-Douglas agreed with the 45 starting sentence that was suggested by both Warren’s lawyer Davina Inalsingh and prosecutor Tricia Samuel.
