Shaquawn Alleyne, also known as “Iswe,” is sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment without parole for the April 2021 murder of his girlfriend, 21-year-old Shonette Dover. The sentence is imposed by Justice Sandil Kissoon, who finds no mitigating factors in the case. At the sentencing hearing on Thursday, Alleyne addresses the court, takes responsibility for his actions, and apologises to Dover’s family. He also pleads for forgiveness, and in court he breaks down and appears emotional. Both reports describe the judge’s determination to deny parole, citing the absence of mitigating circumstances. Alleyne’s sentencing follows his conviction for killing Dover in 2021. The court’s ruling results in a 25-year term with no possibility of parole during that period, reflecting the seriousness of the offence as assessed by the judge.
