A MAN who admitted fatally stabbing another man during a fight was sentenced to 25 years in prison yesterday.
Slade Seymour, 23, was sentenced for manslaughter before Justice Renae McKay after pleading guilty last year.
He had been working at a restaurant in a Carmichael Road plaza when customers complained Caron Thompson was panhandling nearby on June 27, 2022. After Seymour tried to get him to leave, Thompson allegedly threw rocks and a fight followed. Seymour stabbed him with a pocket knife.
A probation report said Seymour suffered drug-induced psychosis linked to cannabis use and had been treated with Xanax. He expressed remorse to the victim’s family.
Stanley Rolle represented the accused and Timothy Bailey prosecuted.
