Though found guilty of murder, former Sophia block maker, Ishaka John, has been sentenced to a minimum period of custodial detention of eight years; as he has also been declared insane.
The sentence was handed down last Friday by High Court Judge Jo-Ann Barlow who, in accordance with the Criminal Law (Procedure) Act made a number of orders to accompany John’s sentence, including continuous psychiatric evaluation and treatment.
Back in December of last year, John was unanimously found guilty by a 12-member jury of the 2019 murder of Jason Bowen who he was said to have strangled during a suspected robbery.
