posted (April 26, 2017)

Twenty-two year old Austin Gabourel will stand trial for a murder that he allegedly committed on Caye Caulker. It happened a year ago, on April 17, 2016, when 29 year old Leon Gordon was fatally stabbed with a broken pint. It happened at Sip and Dip Bar near the split.

Gordon was trying to part a fight between Gabourel and Jersey Rhaburn, who is the owner of the bar. Rhaburn was trying to throw Gabourel out of the bar for acting disorderly. During the struggle, Gabourel received a large cut wound to his face and Gordon was fatally stabbed.

Today, Chief Magistrate, Anne Marie Smith committed him to stand trial in the June session of the Supreme Court. Gabourel - who had no attorney - told the court he will have two alibi witnesses.
