Hard words in Corozal end in homicide
Corozal Town was the scene of the month’s first murder. Twenty-seven year old Jamid Amin Manzanero was fatally shot in the forehead and chest in the wee hours of Monday morning. His body was found in the street in front of the Malibu Disco in the Rainbow Town area of Corozal. Twenty-seven year old Gilbert Blair, an immigration officer at the northern border, was today charged with murder and remanded to Hattieville prison pending trial. Reports are sketchy but indicate that the shooting followed some hard talk in the bar between a number of patrons.
