Canadian John Deshaies remains in the custody of Corozal police - and has not been transferred to the Central Prison where he was ordered to be remanded for a theft in Placencia.  This was confirmed to us this morning by his attorney Steve Perrera.  

Reports to us are that Corozal police are no closer to making an arrest in the double murder of Francesca Matus and Drew Devoursney - in which Deshaies is a key person of interest.  

Deshaies was Matus’s tenant and police believe he has information which can help in the investigation but they say he is not cooperating.  His attorney Steve Perrera says that's because he knows nothing about the double murder.  Perrera says that he will try and get a Supreme Court bail hearing for Deshaeis on Friday.  Attorneys Kevin Arthurs and Dickie Bradley are expected to join him in making this application.
