The former Alleyne School student, who was once a top recruit in the Barbados Youth Service (BYS), will get a chance to pick back up his studies as he serves 12 years for stabbing a man to death six years ago.
Justice Randall Worrell yesterday ordered self-confessed manslayer Nickolai Matthew Harrison-Thompson to attend remedial classes in English and mathematics, to learn a trade and attend anger management courses as part of the sentence imposed by the No 2 Supreme Court.
The now 23-year-old, of Chadderton Road, Carrington Village, St Michael, was back for sentencing after he had pleaded guilty, at an earlier Session of the Continuous Sittings, to unlawfully killing – manslaughter – Guyanese Brinsley Warde, 48, of Chase Gap, Halls Road, St Michael, on October 9, 2015.

Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Alliston Seale prosecuted the matter, while Harrison-Thompson was represented by attorney Safiya Moore. (HLE)
