San Pedro Police have charged 3 men for the murder of 42 year-old San Pedro Taxi Driver Jose Beltran. They are Luis "Sito" Campos, Mark Arzu, and Santos Garcia. The charge was formally brought against them today. Those men will be arraigned at the Magistrate's Court and they will be sent to the Belize Central Prison on remand at the earliest convenience.
As we've been reporting, police found Beltran dead on Tuesday morning at around 10. He had been tied up, shot in the head, and left inside his taxi van, with the engine still running. Eyewitnesses in the San Juan area saw when 2 men jumped out after crashing it and leaving it there. They also observed when the men jumped into a waiting vessel which was docked nearby.
Beltran was a well-known island cabbie, and the preliminary investigation suggests he was killed for his vehicle.
