Two months ago in this newscast you saw the battered faces of Clive Lino and Patrick Menzies - Belize City men who claimed they were both victims of police vigilantes. The police - they explained were trying to settle a score for another cop who Menzies knocked down after a parking lot brawl he and Lino had with those same cops.
Menzies said it was an accident: that he was angry and was simply intended to scare the police officer; but instead he knocked down and badly damaged PC Delwyn Casimiro.
Well tonight Twenty-six year old Menzies is in jail on remand after he was charged with 2 counts of Attempted Murder when he appeared today in the #1 Magistrate court.
