Frank Castro taken from hospital to prison

When accused murderer Frank Castro entered the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital last month, it was on a stretcher. When he left this afternoon, he was in an upright position and waiting anxiously for him at the hospital doors, were the police who wasted no time in slapping on a pair of handcuffs and dragging him off to the police station. The fact that he could barely move out of his own way, didn’t stop police from throwing the book at him, charging him with everything from murder to conspiracy. Castro was charged with the attempted Robbery of the a Chinese grocery store on Third Street and the attempted murder of its proprietor Boa Tang. He was also charged with the use of deadly means of harm and the possession of unlicensed firearm and ammunition. For the death of Belize City taxi driver Peter Novelo, Castro was charged with kidnapping, robbery, damage to property, murder, and conspiracy to murder. He has been remanded to the Hattieville Prison.
