Honduran, Wanted For Murder, Being Prepared For Deportation
posted (March 1, 2012)
Last week we showed you an MS-13 gang member that was shipped out of Belize because he is wanted in El Salvador. Well, tonight authorities are preparing to ship out a Honduran who is wanted for murder.

23 year-old Jaime Caballero, a farmer of Honduran Nationality, is currently in the hands of the Criminal Investigation Branch. He is going to be processed to be deported to his home country.

Immigration officials received a tip that Caballero was in Belize, and on Tuesday he was intercepted on Freetown Road. When he was asked for his travel documents, he couldn't produce any, so as a result, he was charged with failure to produce a visitor's permit.

Immigration officials collaborated with Interpol, and they discovered that he is wanted for murder in Honduras.

Late this evening, he was brought before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer, in front of whom, he pleaded guilty to the charge. The Senior Magistrate sentenced him to a fine in the sum of $1,000 which he must pay forthwith.

In his case however, Belizean authorities have decided that they will send him home as soon as they can so that he can answer to that murder charge back in Honduras.

To that end, instead of being transported to Belize Central Prison today, he was taken to the Queen Street Police Station where he was to be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Branch. CIB will start the process for his transfer into the custody of Honduran authorities.
