Tonight, 45 year-old Paul Jex Sr., a caretaker for the Belize Sports Council, is on remand after he was charged for chopping a man on the hand.
The victim, Edgar Richards, says that on Friday, December 29, he was on standing on a street corner talking to a friend. Richards said Jex rode up on a bicycle, and chopped him on his left hand with a machete.
Police investigated, and they charged Paul Jex Sr. with grievous harm, and use of deadly means of harm. He was arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford, who denied him bail and remanded him to the Belize Central Prison. He will be brought back before the court on April 9.
