Shawn Mussington has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the 2020 murder of his ex-partner, Simone Whyte-Barrington.
Justice Tunde Bakre handed down the sentence on Monday, with a review possible after 20 years. A jury had found Mussington guilty in March following a two-week trial.
Whyte-Barrington, a Jamaican hairdresser, was fatally stabbed at her workplace on Market and Tanner Streets on 14 November 2020.
Witnesses described a turbulent relationship and said Mussington continued to pursue her despite her attempts to end the relationship.
During the trial, Mussington claimed he had been abused and blamed alcohol and emotional distress for his actions.
He apologised to the court, stating he truly loved Whyte-Barrington.
The jury rejected his defence. He will now serve his sentence behind bars.

Finally a Jamaican get little justice in Antigua. Should have been life in prison tho.
A pimp been pimped! Who’s gonna pimp you now?
“Mussington claimed he had been abused and blamed alcohol and emotional distress for his actions”. What a pathetic excuse from a pathetic man. Eat shit everyday at 1735 you little scumbag.
@ “rudeboyforlife” u are trying to justify your point with a name like that? And u wonder why some of u guys have it so hard in other countries? Some of yall feel like u can come to a next man island and feel like yall run things!! No wonder Jamaicans have it so hard bc of dunce elements who bring down law abiding good Jamaican citizens.
@ Smh. How is “smh” any better. Its small minded dunce and illiterate Antiguans like u that make this beautiful island so divided. You are just full of hate and u badmind. But hate all u want u cant stop Jamaican ppl. Gsumph!
In light of the recent sentencing of Shawn Mussington, I can’t help but feel a sense of empathy for him. While the crime he committed was undeniably tragic and devastating for the family of Simone Whyte-Barrington, I believe in the possibility of redemption and rehabilitation. Everyone makes mistakes, and I hope that the judicial system can also show some compassion, especially if there is a chance for review in 20 years. It would be beneficial to consider the broader implications of punishment versus the potential for someone to change over time.
Crimes of passion are usually the worst. We all need to learn to control our tempers and emotions
30 Years is still too little bit. Men like these deserves to be killed
No sentence can compensate for a life lost but im hoping it brings some form of relief from the served justice to the family and friends of the deceased.
these things are never cut a d dried
Think you can just kill a woman and walk free? Son of a gun i hope you die in prison
I completely agree with the sentencing. It’s a tragic situation that a life was lost in such a violent way. Twenty years before having the possibility of review seems fair given the circumstances. Justice needs to be served for Simone and her loved ones, and hopefully, this sends a strong message about the consequences of such actions.
@ rudeboyforlife, Jamaicans need to learn there place! U only run things in your corrupt island that’s why u have to float over here! Go back to your country and leave us in peace!
