ST JOHN’S, Antigua, May 22, CMC – A St. Lucian-born man who murdered his girlfriend will be sentenced next month after pleading guilty in the High Court.
Delon Jonathan Charlery has admitted to killing Zorina Benjamin,45, at her Golden Grove home on November 22, 2021.
Benjamin, a Customs Officer, was discovered with a single gunshot wound to the head.
While there’s no footage of the moment Charlery pulled the trigger, investigators say the sound of the shot was picked up by nearby security cameras…a piece of chilling evidence that would have played a key role in the trial.
The guilty plea means the focus now shifts to sentencing and Justice Ann Marie Smith is set to hand it down on June 12.
