A CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL FOR CHRISLYN
posted (August 5, 2014)
Tomorrow, a 17 year old female will be charged for the murder of 16 year old Chryslin Gladden. And while we are all shocked by it - hardest hit is the Wesley High community where the two girls are recent graduates.

As part of the healing process her close friends are organizing a candle light vigil for Chryslin as well as those who lost loved ones to violence. It starts at 5:30 tomorrow Wednesday at the Yabra Basketball court. WE found out the route from her friends today:..

Andrew Munnings, Spokesperson, Vigil
"It will be a candle light march from the court, Fairweather Street, Cemetery Road, Orange Street, Albert Street and back at the court as well. Anybody that knew Chryslin, anybody that lost anybody to violence this is a time for us to come out as one. This is a time for youths with a voice to come out and say that we have had enough. We are going to come out and stand up we are going to make a change in our country Belize. Everyone please dress in white, every one wear some form of white for peace. Bring your candle, white, red and blue balloons to signify peace in Belize, your posters, your t-shirts, whatsoever you guys have to put towards the cause. It will be great guys."

We'll show you how that GOES in tomorrow's news.

Late reports to 7News are that the male who was charged along with the 17 year old has been found by police and he will now be charged for murder along with his 17 year old girlfriend.
