Suspect in acid attack turns herself in

Doris “Munchie” Martinez, the woman being sought by police for throwing acid in the face of a group of Belize City domino players, has turned herself in to authorities. According to her common law husband, Frank Armstrong, Martinez called him this morning and he advised her to turn herself in. She agreed and he picked her up and took her to the police station. Martinez remains detained and is expected to be charged tomorrow. The intended target of the attack, believed to have been made with muriatic acid, was Jacqueline Henry, a woman Martinez believed was having an affair with Armstrong. All eight victims of the attack, who were playing dominoes at The Zone nightclub Sunday evening, have been released from the hospital. Henry appears to be the most seriously injured and is still recovering from injuries to her eyes.
