Last week Monday, we told you about the three young men who were charged with the murder of San Pedro Taxi man, Jose Beltran. Well tonight, Alfredo Trapp, a fourth resident of San Pedro, has joined them on remand at the Belize Central Prison.

He was arraigned today before, Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith on the charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Due to the nature of the offences, no plea was taken and he was remanded to prison until June 30. On last week Monday, 23 year-old Luis "Sito" Campos, 19 year-old Mark Arzu, and 18 year-old Santos Garcia were all arraigned in the San Pedro Magistrate's Court on these very same charges.

42 year-old Jose Beltran, was found inside his taxi van on the Island at around 10 a.m. on April 28. It is believed that he was murdered because the assailants wanted to use his vehicle in the commission of a crime.
