https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20260306/former-pnp-mp-jolyan-silvera-be-sentenced-today-wifes-killingFormer People�s National Party (PNP) Member of Parliament, Jolyan Silvera, is expected to be sentenced today for the killing of his wife, Melissa, in 2023. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter in February.
Melissa Silvera, 42, was found dead at the couple�s Stony Hill, St Andrew home in November 2023.
Chief Justice Bryan Sykes is to hand down the sentence. The hearing is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. The offence carries a maximum penalty of life but the judge will likely consider several factors, including aggravating circumstances, the guilty plea and the timing when it came.
