Cummings Lodge wife killer gets 30 years in jail

Sean Singh

Sean Singh was yesterday handed a 30-year prison sentence for the 2012 killing of his common-law wife, Indrawattie Sugrim, whom he knifed to death. 

Referencing the autopsy report that showed that at least 10 incised wounds were inflicted on the woman during the bloody attack, Justice James Bovell-Drakes said that in all the circumstances of the case, he found 30 years to be an appropriate sentence.

Singh, 49, also known as ‘Paul’ was originally indicted for the capital offence of murder, but pleaded to the lesser offence of manslaughter, which was accepted by the prosecution last month.
