Second suspect charged in Felix murder

Meanwhile, another Belize City resident has been charged with the murder of Kirlyn Felix. This afternoon nineteen year old Mark Vernon was brought before Magistrate Albert Hoare where he was formally arraigned for Murder, Attempted Murder, Grievous Harm and Use of Deadly Means of Harm. This is the second arrest in connection to the death of Felix as on Tuesday another man, Cassian Bennett, was also charged with Murder. Police sources tell News Five that Bennett and Vernon are brothers. Investigators believe the duo ambushed Felix, Kevin Hendy, and another man at a bus stop on Central American Boulevard on September twenty-third. When the trio tried to run, Felix fell into the drain and eyewitnesses later reported seeing a gunman standing over him and firing as many as five shots. The case has been adjourned until October thirty-first.
