The man convicted of the murder of three children at Kilancholly, St Mary, in January 2005, is to be sentenced on January 8.

Jeffrey Perry, 35, security guard of Kilancholly, was to have been sentenced Tuesday, but the sentencing was put off because Senior Puisne Judge Marva McIntosh ordered a social enquiry report on him.

On December 5, a 12-member jury found Perry guilty of the triple murder.

Caution statement

Perry, a cousin of the children, fatally stabbed them on January 28, 2005. He gave a caution statement to the police in which he said a voice told him to kill.

He subsequently went to the house and stabbed the children, 15-year-old Dwane Davidson, 13-year-old Sue Ann Gordon and four-year-old Shadice Williams
