Delon Charlery, a St Lucian national, is scheduled to be sentenced on 17 October for the murder of Customs Officer Zorina Benjamin in 2021. The case took a significant turn when Charlery changed his plea after compelling audio evidence surfaced, capturing a heated argument between him and Benjamin, culminating in a gunshot. Benjamin was tragically shot in the head at her residence in Golden Grove on 22 November 2021. The sentencing process was previously delayed to allow a probation officer to finalize a comprehensive report, which included interviews with witnesses and Charlery himself. The court will now review this report before issuing the final sentence. This case has drawn considerable attention due to the nature of the crime and the evidence presented, highlighting the judicial process in addressing such grave offenses.
