Kareem Barona charged for stabbing Elvis Rhamdas to death

Kareem Barona

After a weeklong battle for his life, forty-one year old Elvis Rhamdas, succumbed to stab wounds on May first. Today, twenty-eight year old Kareem Barona, a well known criminal figure, was charged for his murder. Barona appeared in court unrepresented and after the arraignment he was remanded to the Central Prison, until June twenty-second. On April twenty-third, Rhamdas got into a misunderstanding with a group of men at the corner of New Road and Victoria Street.  One of the men stabbed Rhamdas at least seven times and left the dagger in his back. Police found him lying in a pool of blood and he was rushed to the K.H.M.H., where he spent his final days. And while his murder is a new case before the courts, Barona also has a charge of attempted murder pending a preliminary inquiry. That charge is in connection with the shooting of twenty year old Orange Walk Resident, Darrel Berry, which occurred on December twenty-fourth, 2009.

    With the recent statistical facts done last week, I think the researcher or the media forgot by all means to record the black men occupying the prison/s in Belize.

    Just another one who thiks he is above the law. He is a murder machine, it would be interesting to see how brave he would be if he was sentenced to death by hanging. It is easy for them to take another persons life, I bet you when it comes times for him or others like him to lay down their own life they would cry like babies. Barrow better make some tough decision soon.

    There is very little that can be said when someone who already has criminal charges pending commits another crime. What is obvious to us, is that he breaks the law because he believes he can get away with it. There is no reason to believe that even if convicted jail will be seen as punishment & there is certainly no rehabilitation, we have to start executing them.
