Tedson Knowles, convicted of murdering his girlfriend Carissa Chandler, has been sentenced to 30 years imprisonment.
The case, which has gripped the community since 2019, reached a pivotal moment last month when a jury found Knowles guilty of the fatal shooting.
The incident, described by prosecutors as a domestic dispute gone tragically wrong, occurred on May 23, 2019, in the couple’s shared residence in New Winthorpes.
During the trial, the court heard testimony from neighbours who described a sequence of events on the day of the murder.
Medical evidence presented in court painted a picture of Chandler’s final moments.
A doctor testified that the victim suffered massive blood loss from a close-range gunshot wound to her chest, ultimately leading to her untimely death.
Justice Ann Marie Smith handed down a 30 year sentence earlier today and said that in 20 years his case will be eligible for review.
A well deserved sentence! Men do not OWN women. Take your anger elsewhere.How dare you think that it’s okay to point a gun into a woman’s chest and pull the trigger? Pity that we no longer make use of the death penalty!
