Fourth person charged for murder of taxi driver

Story PictureAnd in the capital, a fourth person was charged this morning in connection with the vicious murder of eighty-two year old Belmopan taxi-driver, James Young. Twenty-five year old Sherlock Myvette now joins twenty-six year old Matthew Gentle, twenty-five year old Leon Gentle and nineteen year old Transito Ricardo Tzul for Young’s murder. Mister Jimmy, as he was affectionately known, went missing on July twenty-eight and it is believed that the four devised a plot to get hold of his Toyota Camry car. It was not until three days later that Young’s partially decomposed body was found in bushes near the Pooks Hill Resort, fifteen miles off the western highway in Teakettle Village. Young was stabbed several times on his chest and neck. Inspector Chi says police investigation led to Myvette’s capture.
