ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, – Three years exactly to the date that British honeymooners Benjamin and Catherine Mullany were shot at a resort in Antigua, two men charged with their murders as well as the killing of a Jamaican shopkeeper were convicted of the crimes.
After more than 10 hours of deliberation that ended after 11 o’clock last night, Kaniel Martin, 23, and Avie Howell, 20, were found guilty of murdering the Mullanys in their cottage at Coco’s Resort, and Woneta Anderson two weeks later.
Justice Richard Floyd, who presided over the almost two-month trial, scheduled sentencing for September 26, by which time social inquiry reports and psychiatric reports on the two should be completed.
