Following his conviction on May 16, at the High Court, Justice Wesley James sentenced Wilson to 10 years in jail on a charge of aggravated burglary and five years for damage to property yesterday, at the Criminal Assizes.

The sentences will run concurrently.

The facts coming out of the case were that on December 22, 2010, at New Montrose, WIlson entered the premises of Beatrice Samuel at around 10:30 p.m., and entered her house by using a cutlass to chop the door.

While in the house, Wilson began chopping Mischka Samuel about her body. The court heard that she ran into the bathroom, followed by Wilson, who continued chopping her.

However, Mischka refused to give evidence in the matter and the jury was instructed to return to return a not guilty verdict on an initial charge of wounding with intent.(KW)
