| A 33 year old prison officer became an inmate of Belize central prison today when he appeared in Magistrate's Court on a charge of incest in which the complainant was his 12 year old daughter.
Chief Magistrate Margaret McKenzie explained to the accused that no plea will be taken because the offence is indictable. She also explained to him that the court cannot offer him bail because of the nature of the offence. She remanded him into custody until April 6.
The girl, a primary school student, reported to the police that her father, an ex BDF soldier has been having sex with her from April 2010. She was examined by a doctor who confirmed that she was carnally known.
