14 Years For Man Who Killed Doctor
posted (June 20, 2018)

He was accused of murder - but eventually convicted of manslaughter, for killing a male doctor who was allegedly demanding sex from him. And tonight, Dwayne Davis should be breathing a sigh of relief.  Today in court he was sentenced to 14 years for manslaughter.  But, he will only serve 7 because Justice Adolph Lucas subtracted the 6 years he has spent on remand and another year because he pleaded guilty.

In 2012, thirty-seven year old Davis killed Dr. Ivan Garcia, a Guatemalan at the Doctor's apartment in Belama Phase 1 - where Davis had spent the night.  He was strangled and bludgeoned the Doctor on his head with a can of beets - after, the Doctor - allegedly - would not relent in his demands for sex. Davis was represented by attorney Bryan Neal while the Crown was represented by Crown Portia Ferguson.
