Criminologist and forensic-reconstruction expert, Dr Jason McKay, has stated that Jamaica needs to be thankful, proud and supportive of the various state agencies’ collective roles that led to former Member of Parliament (MP) Jolyan Silvera pleading guilty to manslaughter after initially declaring innocence in the killing of his wife, Melissa. Silvera was yesterday sentenced to almost 21 years in prison for his wife’s death.

Chief Justice Bryan Sykes said former Member of Parliament Jolyan Silvera’s guilty plea to manslaughter came only after careful consideration of forensic evidence, describing it as “more strategic than remorseful”. On Friday, the 54-year-old was sentenced to 20 years and 10 months in prison for manslaughter and 20 years for using a firearm to commit a felony, with both sentences to run concurrently. He is eligible for parole after serving 13 years.

Expressing deep regret over the termination of its near 50-year-old bilateral medical brigade programme with Jamaica, Cuba in a statement yesterday reaffirmed its commitment to the Jamaican people while making it clear that it believed the move by the Dr Andrew Holness administration was a result of pressure from the United States (US). The statement from Cuba came after claims from Jamaican government officials earlier in the week that the two countries were unable to reach consensus on a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the programme.

The family of Melissa Silvera say they are not pleased with the possibility that her widower, former Member of Parliament (MP) Jolyan Silvera, could be eligible for parole after being sentenced to nearly 21 years for her death.
