The sentencing hearing for murder convicts Avie Howell and Kaniel Martin has been brought forward and will now take place Friday.

All is in place for the sentencing hearing for murder convicts Kaniel Martin and Avie Howell tomorrow.

There’s been another delay in the widely anticipated sentencing of Avie Howell and Kaniel Martin, who were convicted for the murders of three people.

Ten long hours. That was the time it took a 12-member jury to convict Avie Howell and Kaniel Martin for murdering British couple Benjamin and Dr Catherine Mullany and Jamaican shopkeeper Woneta Anderson.

A jury of eight men and four women is expected to be asked to determine whether Avie Howell and Kaniel Martin are guilty of killing British couple Benjamin and Dr Catherine Mullany three years ago on this very date.

“They brought no evidence of fingerprints to match Kaniel Martin. They brought no evidence of footprints to match Kaniel Martin. They brought no evidence of GSR (gunshot residue) to match Kaniel Martin.”
