Khalid Vanterpool was sentenced to six years in His Majesty’s Prison for the offence of “Unlawful Wounding” after being found guilty by a jury. The charge arises from an incident that occurred on May 12, 2018, in LaGuerite Village, St. Kitts, where Carl Hobson, also from LaGuerite, was seriously injured.
In addition to his prison sentence, Mr. Vanterpool was fined EC $200,000 (two hundred thousand dollars), which must be paid to the complainant within one year. If he fails to do so, he will serve an additional year in prison. Time spent on remand will count towards his sentence, and he will be eligible for early remission (one-third reduction of the sentence) with good behaviour.
His sentence was handed down by His Lordship Justice Iain Morley KC on November 7, 2024, at the High Court in Basseterre, St. Kitts.
