BASSETERRE, St. Kitts — POLICE confirmed that Khalid Vanterpool has been sentenced to six years' imprisonment for the offense of "Unlawful Wounding" after being found guilty by a jury.
In a media statement, the police force reported that the charge stemmed from an incident on May 12, 2018, at LaGuerite Village, where Carl Hobson, also of LaGuerite, was seriously injured.
The sentence was handed down on November 7, 2024, by His Lordship Justice Iain Morley KC at the High Court in Basseterre.
Police further disclosed that Vanterpool was also fined EC $200,000, which must be paid to the complainant within one year, or he will serve an additional year in prison in default of payment.
Time on remand will count toward his sentence, and he will be eligible for one-third early remission with good behavior.
