On Monday we told you about 61 year-old Ervin Morales, who was found chopped to death inside his home in Maskall. Well tonight, 2 teenagers are in prison tonight after police arrested and charged them for his murder.
As we told you, Morales' friend got suspicious when Morales didn't show up at around midday last Saturday, January 19, and as a result, he went searching for the elderly man.
That neighbor found his body inside his house wrapped up in a blanket on his bed room floor. He had chop wounds to the back of his head, left shoulder hand, and both elbows.
Well, police investigated the case, and they charged 19 year-old Clive Geban, a Belize City resident, and a 15 year-old minor with murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
They were arraigned today before the Chief Magistrate, Anne Marie Smith, who remanded them into custody until this next court date, which is set for March 7, 2013.
Reports to 7News are that police picked up the minor first, who under questioning, confessed, and led them to a wallet with money stolen from Morales. Police have other suspects detained, and more charges are expected to be laid in relation to Morales's murder.
