Sandra Perez Acquitted

Sandra Perez

A woman who was accused of stabbing a man once in the abdomen is tonight free of charges of Grievous Harm and Use of Deadly Means of Harm upon Kenrick Pennill. This morning the charges were struck out against Sandra Perez when Pennill could not be located.   The police officers connected to the case were present in court to testify, but without the prosecution’s main witness, the charge would not stand. When Perez heard the news of her acquittal, she was relieved. The thirty year old has been on remand at the Belize Central Prison since her arraignment in December, 2014.  She had been offered bail but somehow was unable to meet that bail.  Pennill was stabbed once to the abdomen during an altercation with Perez over a stolen bike on Cemetery Road, which she accused him of stealing.
