2 men charged for stabbing George Carr Jr. in the neck and jaw

Leo Palacio Jr.

George Carr Junior brought in the New Year recovering from stab wounds after he was attacked in the wee hours of December thirty-first. After eleven days of police investigations, two men were charged this morning with Attempted Murder, Grievous Harm and Use of Deadly Means of Harm. They are twenty-four year olds Leo Palacio Junior and Glenford Miller Junior. No plea was taken when the two appeared in court because the case will go to a preliminary inquiry and if there is enough evidence, the men will stand trial at the Supreme Court.

They were both remanded to the Belize Central Prison until their case some up in February. According to Carr, he was attacked by the two accused men near the Cemetery Road roundabout. Police got the call at around three a.m. that Carr had been stabbed to neck and jaw. The following day, a relative who was with the victim when the stabbing occurred, turned in a broken knife that was left at the scene and gave police a statement on what he saw. While he still hospitalized, Carr was later able to identify Miller and Palacio from pictures police brought to the K.H.M.H. they were detained earlier this week.
