A teenager, initially charged for the murder of a homeless man in 2020 but later indicted for manslaughter, has been sentenced to probation instead of a custodial sentence.

At the end of his probation, the conviction will not be recorded against him. However, he will remain at the Youth Training and Rehabilitation Centre until he writes his CSEC examinations in a couple months.

The ruling was delivered by Justice Jade Rodriguez on April 2.
