Robbery Suspect Mervin Bradley Also Suspect in Madrill Murder
posted (June 9, 2008)

The hold up and robbery not only resulted in the quick arrest of two of the robbers but police investigations strongly links one of the accused to a murder that happened more than 6 weeks ago. While investigators were making inquiries into Freetown Road robbery, they gathered information that connects twenty one year old Mervin Bradley to the homicide of twenty six year old Christino Madrill. Bradley is the same one who was allegedly wielding the gun in Sunday’s armed robbery.

On the evening of April 21st, Madrill was fatally shot by a lone gunman who rode up on a bicycle and fired three shots. Today Head of Crimes Investigation in Belize City Aaron Guzman says they have received credible information which says that Mervin Bradley is the man who pulled the trigger.

Supt. Aaron Guzman,
“We are now in the possession of a statement at least right now that we were trying to place together the pieces of that murder investigation. We have now obtained a statement that we believe puts that puzzle almost together, enough that we believe we have to charge Mervin Bradley for the murder.”

According to Guzman their investigations suggest that Christino Madrill was killed because of a misunderstanding or an old beef. Mervin Bradley is scheduled to appear in Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday when he will be charged for the murder of Christino Madrill.
