He's a very familiar face in the courthouse and today 45-year-old Basil Willis was back before the magistrate to answer to a single charge of burglary.
Willis is accused of breaking into the wash house of Joyce Clother yesterday in King's Park area and stealing an assortment of items. Today in court, Willis pleaded not guilty to burglary.
But the court prosecutor, Cpl. Dean Augustine objected to bail on the grounds that Willis owed the court and that he has previous convictions for similar charges for dishonestly including handling stolen goods for which he owes the court, $1,500, a wounding in which he owes $1,000 and $500 from 2010.
With that, the Chief Magistrate, Anne Marie Smith upheld the objection to bail and remanded Willis to the Belize Central Prison until August 27, 2013.
