Dwayne Eugene Ginn — who killed his housemate almost two years ago — was given a six-year sentence this morning in Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court in St. John’s.
The 41-year-old Ginn had was originally charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of 39-year-old Mark Hamlyn on June 14, 2022. Hamlyn was found bloodied and unresponsive outside Hennessey’s Guest Home in Kilbride, where he and Ginn both lived. In rendering her decision, Justice Valerie Marshall took into consideration circumstances of the offence, as well as mitigating and aggravating factors.
