Veteran Dancehall deejay Ninjaman was a short while ago given a life sentence in the Home Circuit Court for the March 2009 murder of Ricardo Johnson.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He is to serve 25 years before being eligible for parole. He was given 20 years for shooting with intent and life imprisonment for murder.<\/p>\n

The DJ gave the thumbs up after the sentence was handed down.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

His co-accused \u2014 son Jahneil, and Dennis Clayton\u00a0\u2014 were also handed life sentences, with 15 years before being eligible for parole.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The three were to be sentenced on Friday; however their sentencing was postponed because the attorney representing Clayton was late for court, resulting in Justice Martin Gayle postponing the matter until today.<\/p>\n

The three were found guilty on November 20.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

According to police reports, Ninjaman, Jahneil, and Clayton were among several men who entered a yard on Mall Road in Olympic Gardens on March 16, 2009. They fired shots at a man who fled the premises, but 20-year-old Johnson was fatally shot.<\/p>\n
