Will Belize Send For Bacchus?
posted (February 8, 2018)

On Tuesday we told you about Canadian Jordan Bacchus. Bacchus was a person of interest in the murder of San Pedro star athlete Melvin Almendarez but fled to his home country of Canada before he could be detained. 

Bacchus who was also wanted in Canada was found and arrested last week Friday in Ontario Canada. Today, we asked the police about Bacchus's extradition to Belize after he has been processed in Canada.

"Will he be extradited to Belize to face murder charges?"

"We are aware that he is detained there and the file in regards to that incident that he is a suspect for is being forwarded to the DPP. There is no indication of any extradition at this point. He is a person of interest and we would want to ask him some questions. He is not necessarily wanted. Like I said the file is being prepared and it is being sent to the DPP. We will see what directive is given and move from there.”

The police continue to wait for the extradition files.
