Two southside men have been formally charged in connection with the brazen murder of a San Pedro fisherman. The victim, twenty-six-year-old Zinedine Pinelo, was gunned down last Friday and now, two suspects are behind bars, facing the most serious of charges. Twenty-eight-year-old Dashay Williams of Neal’s Penn Road and nineteen-year-old Kaylen McFoy of Hunters Lane were arraigned earlier today, jointly charged with Pinelo’s murder. The courtroom saw tense moments as Williams, who had been detained under the recent State of Emergency, told the magistrate he’s been suffering from a lodged bullet wound and has not received medical care. The Senior Magistrate ordered that Williams be taken to the K.H.M.H. for immediate medical attention before being remanded to the Belize Central Prison—where both men will remain until their next court date on July second. It’s a case that’s drawing attention not only for the crime itself, but for the conditions under which one of the accused claims he’s being held.
