As we reported, Ical was released by Cayo police on Friday - after the DPP instructed the police to gather further evidence in the Suzenne Martinez murder - since they didn't have enough to charge.

But he was released directly into the custody of Belmopan police who were investigating him for connection to the murder of Robert Lewis who was killed in his Maya Mopan home.

That's because Ical was found with a telephone SIM Card and a few pieces of jewelry from the Lewis house. He was charged for two counts of handling stolen goods on Saturday and taken to Belmopan Magistrate's court for arraignment this morning.

He pleaded guilty to one count of handling stolen goods for the jewelry and the SIM Card and not guilty to the other charge of handling a camera and some other pieces of jewelry.

He was remanded until January for the not guilty charge but will remain in prison beyond that for the conviction. So that takes him off the street - while the investigation for two murders continues.

As we understand it - DNA samples have been taken from to be matched to semen found on Suzenne Martinez's body. Those samples will be sent abraad for testing - and police are working to do that as expeditiously as possible. A post mortem found that she died of manual strangulation.
