Corporal to Court For Beating Teen
posted (January 9, 2018)
Two police officers have been criminally charged nearly a month after they allegedly beat up a 16 year old boy in Punta Gorda.

Cpl Raul Ico and PC Ermo Coy were charged for Grievous Harm and Damage to Property. They appeared in the Dangriga Magistrate's court today and were offered and met bail of $3000.

The incident happened in mid-December. The report is that 16 year old Victor Kus was heading home when the officers pulled up on him and asked what was in his pocket. He told the officers he only had his phone. But they didn't believe him and they hit him with an object. The officers broke 3 of Kus' teeth and they bruised his eye. He was never charged or detained for anything, and his father demanded court action.
