And the final case of attempted murder to report tonight was allegedly committed by 18 year-old Jamie Hope - a female.
33 year-old Joana Orellana, a Manager of Caye Caulker Plaza Hotel, reported that on September 17, she was at the San Pedro Belize Express water terminal in Belize City with her 14 year-old daughter.
Orellana reported that she suddenly felt a blow her face and realized that it a pint bottle had struck her; it shattered on impact, and one of the jagged edges gouged her on the cheek.
Orellana fell on the ground and when she looked up, she saw Jamie Hope standing over her. She said that fearing for her life, she ran near to where the boat was docked, which is when her daughter told her that the impact knocked out one of her teeth.
As a result of the report, Hope was arrested and charged with attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, and wounding.
She was arraigned before Magistrate Dale Cayetano today, and due to the nature of the offences she was remanded to prison November 28.
