Convicted murderer Anderson Rodney Omar Best will spend the next 22 years behind bars for killing a teenager.Best, of Kings Court, Lodge Road, Christ Church, had been charged with murdering Justin Trevor Jean, 17, formerly of Kingsland Terrace, Christ Church, on August 30, 2011.In June 2022, a unanimous jury found him guilty.Giving Best a starting sentence of 30 years in the No. 2 Supreme Court earlier this week, Justice Randall Worrell did not adjust the starting point after considering the aggravating and mitigating factors of the offence.A deduction was made for the 1 753 days Best has already spent on remand along with 1 170 days for the 13-year delay. The judge told him he had 8 027 days left to serve his sentence.During the trial, the court heard that Best, who was 28 years old at the time, told police he stabbed Jean twice after the teen charged at him.His statement outlined that he and others were socialising on the road in Kings Court when Jean walked through the middle of the group, “slow down and look in my face with he face vex”.
