He stabbed a taxi driver to death and now faces 15 years behind bars
Marlon Contreras was found guilty of Manslaughter for stabbing to death forty year old Jose Howe, a taxi driver of Benque Viejo Town. He received the bad news on August nineteenth, his birthday. Today Contreras learnt that for his crime, he will spend fifteen years in prison in addition to the three he has already spent while waiting for trial. Justice Troadio Gonzalez handed down the sentence after hearing mitigation pleas from two persons. One of them was a close family friend, Anna Diaz, and a pastor, Edwardo Yacab of San Ignacio Town. Diaz, who knew Contreras since he was a teen, told the court that he was her daughter’s friend and that she loved him like family. Meanwhile, Pastor Yacab said that Contreras’ family was very church-oriented.
Jose Howe was found stabbed multiple times in the back seat in his taxi on September twenty eighth, 2007 in Benque Viejo Town. During the trial Contreras had given a dock statement in which he denied the allegations. However, the initial caution statement that led to a conviction. In that statement he told police that on the day in question, he had hired Howe’s taxi services from San Ignacio to Benque and that was when he killed him.
Contreras family been church orientated doesn’t mean that he was also church orientated.Typical example of Wolf in Sheep clothing.We’re living in the last days people believe it or not.
So his friends & family will pray for him…. While they are at it, try praying for the blood stained country & the next taxi driver who picks him up after he is released.
15 years behind bars for this murder?
15 years of bread and butter, and shelter for this animal, and who is going to pay his bills, you are.
THAT’S IT? 15 YEARS? He stabbed that man to death, in cold blood, the least the court system could’ve done was a life sentence. He’s 19, which means at worse he’ll b 34 when he gets out, but more than likely he’ll get out in 8 yrs. This means before he’s 30 he’ll b back on the streets n doing the same thing. Why oh why can’t we hold the criminals FULLY accountable for the crimes they commit? That is why we r continuously considered a third world country, the justice system doesn’t respect us, the government doesn’t respect us, the police department doesn’t respect us, the criminals damn sure don’t respect us n we don’t respect ourselves, HOW CAN ANYBODY ELSE?
People should turn like the Guatemalans. you dont mess with the civilians. they burnt you to death especiallly when laws dont help.
shame on our justice system, 15 years for killing a man with children, mada…., thats why dem bway kill with out mercy cause they know they can get away, and to say they are church orientated! Bs, Jesus spoke about this kind of people when he walked this earth, he say they are like a tomb, beautiful on the outside but everthing inside stink, and rotten. these are the same people wh a few month ago were on national TV lamenting about why why the police beat the other son,
If only our country would know who these people are savages, they kill, thief, beat up anybody, even little old ladies, and mother condon everything, in fact she hide the stolen goods for them,she curse you if you compalin about her kids to her, madas, instead of giving her sond some kind of advice the condone every … they do.For your information, the parents are Guates!!!
SHOULD BE 15 YEARS plus…………..HARD LABOUR, NOTHING LESS!!!!!
U see the reason why these ppl get away with things is that you and me are the common ppl and if we do them something we will get charged. However the police have an advantage that they can eliminate these ppl from the streets but then ppl start complaining that the police chancey and thing. The older brother is one of the worst person to have in the streets. He has been suspect of many crimes including the Murder of Andy. Yet when he allegedly got a beating cayo business ppl immediately put up cameras in the police station to avoid reoccurrence. So we feed them and norture them and then complain.
