Delroy Walker, from Birmingham, was stabbed to death weeks after retiring to the Caribbean island where he was building his dream home. The 63-year-old former charity worker was murdered by a "jealous" tradesman he had employed to help decorate the property in 2018.

Dwayne Barton, 32, was jailed for 27 years and his accomplice, Davian Edwards, 33, for 22 years this week after being found guilty of murder after a trial at St Mary circuit court in Jamaica.

Walker was 11 years old when he moved to Britain with his parents, who were part of the Windrush generation. He had always dreamed of returning to Jamaica to retire, which he did in November 2017.
