Brian Belle, 25, and 32 year Tyrone Gongora Rushford were arrested and charged with murder for the stabbing death of 21 year-old Kevin Andrew Taylor Jr., who was stabbed and killed in Unitedville, Cayo, during the long weekend.
It happened at around 9:30 p.m. when Taylor was involved in a fight at a shop in the village. During that confrontation, he received 2 stabs, one to the chest, and another to the back. Persons on the scene rushed him to the Western Regional Hospital, but the injuries were too severe. He died while undergoing treatment.
The investigators detained persons following the stabbing, and after their investigation, Belle and Gongora were formally charged on Monday. Police believe that they have enough evidence to prosecute this case whenever it is called up.
Both Brian Belle, who hails from Unitedville and Tyrone Rushford who comes from Blackman Eddy have been remanded to the Belize Central Prison and are to re-appear in court on December 30th 2014.
