Tour guide and carver charged with incest
A tour guide from the Belize District and his wood carver cousin were charged with incest today following allegations that they both had sexual relations with a fourteen year old female relative. The pair appeared before Magistrate Margaret McKenzie and were remanded to Hattieville Prison until trial on December ninth. One of the men was also charged with grievous harm. The victim, who is the sister of one of the men, reported the intercourse occurred in September 2004 and that there was another incident in December. Incest is an indictable offence so no plea was taken.
