Man gets 15 years for Mandela Ave bar killing

Joshua Meredith was yesterday sentenced to 15 years behind bars for the 2016 killing of Charlestown youth Gregory Garraway.

Meredith, 26, had been charged with murdering Garraway in the course or furtherance of an October 2nd, 2016 robbery, at the `Wings and Things’ Bar on Mandela Avenue, in Georgetown.

Meredith denied the capital offence and pleaded instead to the lesser offence of manslaughter during an appearance before Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the High Court in Georgetown.
