The brother who was bullied by his older sibling for a number of years and ended up killing him was given a starting sentence of seven years for manslaughter by the No. 2 Supreme Court yesterday.
However, Justice Randall Worrell, who pointed to Rommel Jonathan Bishop’s clean record and “the issue of what you went through”, suspended the time that remained after deductions, for three years.
“It is clear that this is an unfortunate incident. It is clear you also suffered at the hands of your deceased brother,” said Justice Worrell.
Bishop, now 30, but 17 at the time, of Harlington, St Philip, had been arraigned with murdering his brother Robert St Pierre, 19, of the same address, on May 4, 2011. He denied that count and pleaded guilty to unlawfully killing St Pierre on the same date.
