Last night, we told you about 22 year-old Alberto Briceno, the young man from Paraiso Village in Corozal who was stabbed to death on Saturday Night. Well, the man who police believe was his assailant is 29 year-old Adan Meza, a resident of Corozal Town, and he's behind bars tonight.

He was charged with one count of murder, reports to our newsroom are that he has since been arraigned and remanded.

As we told you, the incident happened in front of a park which is across the street from Alberto Briceno's house. In last night's newscast, we showed you his aunt, who saw the incident unfold. She told us that he had gone out to a nearby shop, and while he was returning home, he met Adan Meza's younger brother, with whom he was friendly. According to his Aunt, he gave Meza's brother a friendly push, but he was reportedly under the influence and fell. That's when the accused, Adan Meza, reportedly ran up to Briceno and assaulted him. Adan Meza reportedly stabbed Briceno multiple times to the chest and abdomen, injuries which killed him last than an hour later.
