An arrest warrant has been issued for Belize City businessman Ben Bou-Nahra following an indictment for murder against him last week.

News Five has confirmed that on December twenty-second, Director of Public Prosecutions Kirk Anderson sent a letter to the Supreme Court directing the police to immediately arrest Bou-Nahra. But to date, the thirty-nine year old has not been brought to court to answer the charge.
