Prince was shot on February 17, 2012 allegedly by Phillip and three other accomplices who had invaded the gas station where she worked.
The other convicts were Timorie Elliotte (a former defence force soldier), Gideon Jackson (a police constable), and Dion “Ticks” Thomas, now deceased.
Philip was released on Friday November 15th. He is also among the top performers from the His Majesty’s Prison who participates in courses offered by the Lifelong Learning Unit at the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus.
