Contractor Robert Benn, who shot and killed the driver of a car who had turned onto his driveway in 2016, was yesterday sentenced to 6 ½ years in jail after pleading guilty to a charge of manslaughter.
The businessman was also sentenced to four years for the attempted murder of a woman who at the time was a passenger of the car.
Benn was initially indicted for murder, but pleaded to the lesser offence of man-slaughter, accepting that on August 23rd, 2016, he unlawfully killed Collin Perreira. He also pleaded guilty to discharging a loaded firearm at Gail-Ann Chacon with intent to murder her.
