Daniel Caine Charged for Collin Sutherland Murder

Daniel Caine

A resident of Pink’s Alley has been arraigned for the New Year’s Day murder of Collin Sutherland.  Twenty-nine-year-old Daniel Caine is charged for the callous, January first execution of the Conch Shell Bay resident and is on remand at the Belize Central Prison after appearing in court today.  It has been seventeen days since the first murder for 2017 was recorded and police have made significant progress in cracking the case.  Caine, who has beaten a murder rap in the past, has been fingered as the triggerman, following the deadly incident which took place in the area of Uno Service Station on Youth for the Future Drive.  This afternoon at two o’clock, he was escorted to the Belize City Magistrate’s Court where he appeared before Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith.  No plea was taken since the offense was an indictable matter.  Due to the nature of the crime, Caine was taken into custody until April fourth, when his next court date has been scheduled.  In November 2015, Caine, along with two other men, were acquitted of the murder of Harrison Smith who was shot and killed near the corners of Pickstock and North Front streets.  That fatal shooting took place in October 2014; however, the charge was withdrawn after police witnesses gave conflicting evidence in court.
