Justice Navindra Singh yesterday sentenced Delon Gordon, the man who killed his partner by setting her afire in their Better Hope, East Coast Demerara home, to 83 years in jail, with a minimum of 50 years to be served before the possibility of parole.
Gordon was charged with murdering Natasha Johnson in 2011, after the mother of three succumbed in hospital to the burns she sustained in the fire.
Gordon set the house on fire with himself and Johnson and their one-year-old child in it. Johnson’s two other children were also locked in the house.
Gordon had been found guilty of the murder on October 15 by the 12-member jury.
His lawyer Raymond Ali yesterday begged the judge to be lenient with his client
