A MAN who murdered his three-year-old son in 1988, before placing his body in a bag and disposing of it, has been left with just under four more years to spend in prison before his release.
The ruling followed a resentencing exercise conducted yesterday by High Court judge Hayden St Clair-Douglas, who accepted the defence’s submission that a determinate sentence of 45 years’ imprisonment was appropriate in the circumstances of the case.
The court was told that the offender, Phinis Warren, who was represented by attorney Davina Inalsingh, has already spent 37 years and seven months behind bars. In addition to time already served, the judge deducted four years in recognition of his rehabilitative efforts while incarcerated, leaving a remaining term of three years and five months.
