Before the Easter Holidays, we told you about 42 year-old Patrick Castillo Sr., the man accused by his family of allegedly chopping his 20 year-old stepson, Jose Maderos, to death. That violent incident unfolded in front of an entire family, and tonight, Castillo is at the Belize Central Prison after he was formally charged with murder.
Castillo was arraigned today before Magistrate Ladonna John on the charge of murder, and an additional charge of wounding, which he allegedly committed against his 13 year-old step-daughter. Due to the nature of the offence, no plea was taken, and he was remanded to the Central Prison until June 8.
As we told you, the incident happened on last week Wednesday night at around 9:00 . Castillo and Maderos, who had a very confrontational relationship, got into an argument about him stepping on his sister's toe. It escalated to a fight where, Castillo allegedly pulled his machete and chopped Maderos to death. Other family members were at home, and they tried to part the fight, and in the process, one of the daughters was injured.
