27 year-old Lionel "Piggy" Neal, a man who was recently acquitted of murder in July of year, is back behind bars tonight after he allegedly stabbed another Belize City man.
Gregory McCoy reported that on Independence Day, at around 10:30 a.m. he visited his ex-girlfriend, Britney Martinez, who resides at #63 West Street.
An argument started between him and Martinez's current boyfriend, Lionel Neal, and that escalated to the point where Neal reportedly pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed McCoy on the upper left side of the back.
McCoy was rushed to the hospital, where there is no record of him - at least not under that name.
As a result of the report, Neal was arrested and charged attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, and dangerous harm.
He was arraigned before Magistrate Dale Cayetano today, who couldn't take any plea or offer bail due to the nature of the offences.
As a result, Neal was remanded to prison until October 19, his next court date.
Neal was acquitted in the Supreme Court along with Michael Kerr of the March 2010 murder of 29 year-old Glenford Matura.
