Antigua court upholds manslaughter conviction against Guyanese

Jun 27, 2013 News

Antigua (CaribArena) – A High Court 10-year sentence on Stephen Greaves, a Guyanese national who was charged with murder but convicted on a lesser count of manslaughter, was upheld on Tuesday in the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal.
Greaves allegedly stabbed his stepfather, Kenneth Hewitt, to death following an abusive altercation involving his mother and the deceased.
Greaves’ mother, Donna Hewitt, was jointly charged, but early in the trial the prosecution withdrew the charges against her.
According to his attorney, John Fuller, there were a few aggravating factors in the matter, and the stepfather was very abusive and a terror.
Fuller added that Greaves was remanded from September 15, 2006 to November 27, 2007, and that that period was not recognized by the court.
Director of Public Prosecutions Anthony Armstrong objected Fuller and said that the aggravating factors outweighed the mitigating factors, citing the violence of the incident and the using of a knife.
“The aggravating factors far outweigh the mitigating. The crime was one of extreme violence. A knife was used to inflict wounds to Hewitt; injuries he had no chance of surviving.”
The DPP said Greaves did not plead guilty and was not entitled to a one third discount.
