AGENCIES: A US former police officer who shot dead her neighbor inside his own apartment in Dallas has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for murder.

Amber Guyger, 31, argued she killed Botham Jean, 26, after mistakenly thinking she was in her own flat and that he was an intruder.

In an emotional testimony, Jean’s brother Brandt said he “loved [Guyger] as a person” before giving her a hug.

The jury’s sentence was less than the 28 years prosecutors had sought.

A four-year police veteran, Guyger did not testify in the sentencing hearing, which included emotional testimony from Jean’s relatives and friends. His father, Bertrum, cried as he described the pain following the murder.

“How could we lose Botham – such a sweet boy? He tried his best to live a good honest life. He loved God. He loved everyone,” he told the jury.
