By Breaking Belize News Staff: Twenty-seven-year-old Evyn Ardon was sentenced to 14 years in prison today for the stabbing murder of 40-year-old Manuel Canales.
Ardon appeared before Justice Susan Lamb today for his sentencing hearing, after pleading guilty to manslaughter.
Justice Lam took into consideration the fact that Ardon is the father of a four-year-old child, his early guilty plea, and the fact that he seemed remorseful for his actions, so she deducted two years from his sentence.
She also deducted six years for his guilty plea and 4 years, 8 months, and 13 days, the time Ardon spent on remand, from the sentence, leaving him with only 2 years, 3 months, and 27 days left on his sentence.
On March 29, 2019, Ardon and Canales were drinking at a bar in Ladyville when a fight ensued. Ardon left and came back shortly after with a knife and fatally stabbed Canales to the abdomen.
