Loop News – The man who brutally stabbed Estika Halley in Sint Maarten one year ago has been sentenced to 16 years imprisonment for brutally assaulting the former Senior Carnival Queen.

 

The defendant, initials M.B., who is Halley’s ex-partner, repeatedly stabbed her and left her critically injured on the roadside.

He faced charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault for the heinous attack that occurred near Emerald Funeral Home in July 2022.

The Prosecutor’s Office Sint Maarten OM SXM demanded a 16-year prison term for Brooks due to the severity of the crimes committed.

In its ruling on July 19, the Court awarded the victim compensation for her immaterial damages such as pain and suffering, and emotional distress experienced due to the severity of the incident.

During the trial, the OM SXM emphasized that this shocking incident deeply impacted the Sint Maarten community, causing unease and fear.

OM SXM sees ensuring justice in such cases is crucial for community healing, especially for the victim and her support network.
