Fixed home for Beckles

A 47-year-old man who pleaded guilty to a 2017 offence in February has been sentenced to two years in prison.

He is George St Clair Ricardo Lance Beckles, of no fixed place of abode.

The accused who is already housed at HMP Dodds had pleaded guilty to wounding Yogendra Sawhon on August 27, 2017 as well as stealing a $60 handsaw and a $30 cutlass belonging to him.

In the sentence delivered in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court by Magistrate Kristie Cuffy-Sargeant today, Beckles was informed that his 120 days already spent on remand at HMP Dodds would be taken into account as he served his sentence.
