A 16 year old has been arrested and charged for the murder of 24 year old Dernell Brown on May 2nd at the Agriculture and Trade Show. The police version of events is that Brown was hanging out with a group of friends near the Heineken tent when another group of men apparently disrespected a female Brown was with. Brown then approached the group and a fight started. That was when Brown was stabbed to the head. Today police told us that there has been an arrest:

Supt. Howell Gillett - OC, - Belmopan Police

The 16 year old has been remanded at the Wagner's Facility until August 17th, 2015.
