Orange Walk Police believe that they've solved the stabbing murder of 51 year-old Miguel "Chino" Medina, the last murder of 2014. Tonight, the man they're accusing is spending his second night on remand.

He's 30 year Tony Pasos, a labourer of San Narciso Street in Orange Walk Town, and on Monday Evening, he was formally arrested and charged with murder. He was arraigned yesterday in the Magistrate's Court, and remanded to the Belize Central Prison.

On New Year's Eve, at around 6 p.m., Medina was socializing with a group of men at a small house on Fonseca Street in Orange Walk Town. The men had some sort of disagreement which escalated to murder and Medina was stabbed 42 times. He bled to death inside the house.

Residents believe that alcohol and other illegal drugs may have factored into this murder.
