DUNCANS, Trelawny — Forty-year-old farmer Nadeen Geddes was today sentenced to 20 years in prison at hard labour in the Trelawny Circuit Court for the murder of her sister 36-year-old Tamara Geddes, who was shot in her bedroom in the Reserve community in the parish last year.
She pleaded guilty to the offence on February 8.
The 36-year-old Geddes was reportedly gunned down in the presence of her 10-year-old daughter on Friday, June 19, 2020.
