25 year-old Edwin "Drive" Flowers, 34 year-old Michael Coleman, 23 year-old Emmerson Skyers, 24 year-old Albert Clother, and a 17 year-old minor, all believed to members of the PIV Gang, were among the first men to be arrested and remanded for the gang crackdown after those multiple gang-related shootings which left 4 men dead and 4 injured in September. Well, tonight all 5 men are at home after being freed of the charge today.
All 4 were picked up by police 2 months ago at Clother's home on Jasmine Street in Belize City. The officers searched for illegal substances, but found nothing. The officers claim that while under caution, all 5 men confessed to being members of the PIV gang.
Since the men were first arraigned on September 8, their families complained to us that police brought up the men on bogus charges. Today, Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer agreed when she struck the charges out for a want of prosecution because there was no evidence against them before her court. With that, the men were allowed to leave home freely.
