Veron Primus jailed for 34 years in SVG
Veron Primus, wanted in the United States (US) for the 2006 murder of Brooklyn honors student Chanel Petro-Nixon, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 34 years in prison in St. Vincent (SVG).
Primus was found guilty on Friday of the 2015 murder of Sharleen Greaves, a real estate agent. Greaves, 31, was found dead in her office with multiple stab wounds at the time.
Primus, a person of interest in the Petro-Nixon case in Brooklyn, was deported to his home country of St. Vincent in April 2015 after serving time in a New York State prison for violating a restraining order against a former girlfriend.
Chanel Petro-Nixon, who vanished from her Bedford-Stuyvesant home on Father’s Day 2006, had told friends she was meeting Primus at a nearby Applebee’s to file a job application.
Petro-body Nixon’s was discovered days later in a garbage bag on a Brooklyn sidewalk along Kingston Avenue.
Strangulation was the cause of death.
