A MAN was sentenced to six months in prison yesterday after admitting damaging his electronic monitoring device (EMD) while on release for charges of murder and attempted murder.

Wesley Delhomme, 23, appeared before Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans on charges of damage and violating conditions of bail.

This bail was granted by the Supreme Court after he was accused of shooting and killing James Dalean on Raymond Road on May 28, 2019. The defendant was also accused in the attempted killing of Kevin Telusnord on that same day and place.

On April 8 this year, while on release for these charges, Delhomme damaged his EMD belonging to Metro Security Solutions which was valued at $1,023.

It is further alleged that between April 8 and 14 he failed to charge the EMD.

While Delhomme pleaded guilty to the damage charge, he pleaded not guilty to the bail violation charge.

The magistrate sentenced the accused to six months in prison for the damage charge. Delhomme was further ordered to fully reimburse Metro for the damaged property or risk an additional six months in custody.

Delhomme is expected to return to court for trial on  the bail charges on July 27.
