THIRTY-FOUR-YEAR-OLD Mark Creame was, on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, sentenced to 12 years imprisonment by Justice Navindra Singh at the High Court after pleading guilty to the charge of manslaughter.

Justice Singh however ordered that the prison authorities deduct the time Creame spent on remand from the sentence
Creame was charged with murder, but opted to plead guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter.

The father of two admitted that on December 1, 2013, at Eight Miles in the North West District, he unlawfully killed 42-year-old Terrence Henry called ‘Terry.’

The state was represented by prosecutors Teriq Mohammed, Tuanna Hardy, and Abigail Gibbs, while Creame was represented by Attorney-at-Law Mark Conway.

Conway, during his plea of mitigation, told the court that Creame while on remand learned tailoring and attends church. The accused told the court that he is remorseful for what he did.

Justice Singh, before passing sentence, noted that there seems to be an alcohol problem in the interior. He recalled a recent case in which another man from the hinterland was jailed for a similar offence he had committed, while he was intoxicated.

According to reports, on December 1, 2013, at Eight Miles in the North West District, there was a fight between Creame and Henry. Creame became annoyed, armed himself with a cutlass and dealt Henry several chops about his body.
