Bermuda man sentenced

A Bermudian man, already serving a life sentence for murder, has been handed a 10-year jail sentence for a brutal attack on a fellow inmate.



Kenneth Burgess was handed the lengthy term by the Supreme Court and is to serve both sentences concurrently.



Under the law the 10-year sentence cannot be added to his current life sentence for murder because it would affect the right of authorities to subject him to recall if he was released.



However, the 10-year sentence is likely to affect whether Burgess ever gets parole.



Meanwhile, Kamel Trott, who was Burgess\' accomplice in the attack on the inmate, has been sentenced to seven years.



The pair had been found guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent on Dennis Robinson at the Westgate Correctional Facility - the island\'s maximum security prison.



Robinson and Burgess were jointly convicted of murdering twins Jahmal and Jahmil Cooper in a trial two years ago following their brutal murder in March 2005 and were jailed for life.



The prosecution says Burgess attacked Robinson in retaliation, blaming him for his conviction.



The attack left Robinson with a broken jaw, a perforated ear drum and a fractured eye socket.
