A MAN broke down in tears as he was sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting to once again breaching his bail on a pending murder charge.

This defendant had previously served six months in prison after admitting to a bail breach last January.

Magistrate Kendra Kelly charged Shaquille Culmer, 31, with four counts of violating bail conditions. 

Culmer was on bail for alleged involvement with the shooting death of Alexander Gibson on John Road on February 22, 2021.

The defendant reportedly breached his court-ordered nightly residential curfew four times between January 5 and 10.

After pleading guilty to the charges, the prosecutor, Sergeant Vernon Pyfrom, noted the defendant had previously been sentenced in the same court on similar charges.

Magistrate Kelly sentenced Culmer to serve 18 months at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
