Dane Bonner, the Old Harbour murder convict who wept bitterly after being found guilty last week Tuesday for the 2002 home invasion murder of a woman in his community, is scheduled for sentencing today.
The 27-year-old Bonner was scheduled to be sentenced yesterday, but the matter was adjourned until tomorrow to facilitate character witnesses.
Bonner was found guilty for the February 17, 2002 murder of 41-year-old Shirley Powell who was found at her Succaba Pen, St Catherine home with gunshot wounds to her body.
Before Powell succumbed to her injuries she reportedly told the police that ". Dane and Bross shot mi over drugs". She went on to name and describe Bonner's mother. Bonner was arrested some time after.
Following his conviction Tuesday, Bonner wept bitterly while professing his innocence.
"Dem find mi guilty, star, and mi nuh do nuten," wailed Bonner. "Yuh honour, please, mi nuh know nutten weh dem a talk bout. It better dem kill mi."
