Former Great Diamond resident Alvin Calder, who was earlier this year convicted of the 2007 shooting death of Mahdia gold miner Joseph Willy, was on Friday last sentenced to 10 years, 11 months behind bars.
While initially charged with murder, the state indicted Calder for the lesser offence of manslaughter, on which a jury back in February found him guilty.
Justice Gino Persaud who had presided over the trial had deferred sentencing for a probation report.
