Life sentence for man who fatally stabbed peacemaker
Anthony Jones, 41, called ‘Pastry Man,’ was yesterday morning handed a life sentence for the 2018 killing of 20-year-old Nyron Vyphuis, who was stabbed in the heart after intervening in an argument Jones was having with his (Jones’) wife, to prevent him from hitting the woman.
“Peacemakers are to be protected and cannot be made to pay the price for bringing peace,” Justice Sandil Kissoon told a visibly distressed Jones who sunk his head into his palms after hearing the sentence.
Jones had initially been arraigned for murder, but threw himself at the mercy of the Court some weeks back, pleading guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter; admitting that he had unlawfully killed Vyphuis on October 13th, 2018.
