Comments Off on Central Bank Will Not Provide U.S. to G.O.B.
An official letter which was filed by the Government in the CCJ proceeding comes as close as we’ve ever seen to G.O.B. acknowledging that the sky is falling. It’s dated July twenty-second, and is addressed to Financial Secretary Joseph Waight, from Governor of the Central Bank Glenford Ysaguirre. Ysaguirre wasted no time on niceties, but […]
Accused kidnapper and murderer William ‘Danny’ Mason is preparing to spend his second full week as an involuntary guest at the Belize Central Prison, but the bizarre circumstances of his detention, and subsequent revelations continue to generate increasing interest. Perhaps the most attention has been focused on Minister of National Security John Saldivar who has […]
The man with many names remains an enigma to the general public. We know where he is right now – that one’s easy – but we don’t even know if his real name is William Mason, or Raj Ouellet, or Ramesh. But we are told that he was born in Guyana and left that country […]

William Danny Mason has been behind bars since July nineteenth, in a special facility at the Belize Central Prison reserved for high-risk prisoners. He is alone – or as alone as somebody in prison can be – having been separated from the four men arraigned along with him for the kidnapping and murder of Pastor […]
Superintendent Mark Flowers, former commander of the Gang Suppression Unit, spent his first night on remand at the Belize Central Prison on Tuesday. The pretrial detention succeeds an arraignment at the magistrate’s court during which he was indicted on two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse involving a minor. The teenager is believed to be several […]
Flowers maintains that the charges brought against him are all part of a plot to make him the fall guy, to shift attention away from the ongoing investigation involving alleged murderer William ‘Danny’ Mason. He asserts that the Minister of National Security is meddling in the affairs of the police department where it concerns their […]
The former GSU boss Mark Flowers has gone on record to say that he gained access to the posh home of William Mason in Belmopan as part of a covert operation to investigate the businessman. Up until then, there had been allegations made against Mason that he conned several prominent entrepreneurs out of large sums […]
Prior to handing himself in at the Queen Street Precinct on Tuesday, the embattled Mark Flowers had a few choice words for those whom he believes are behind the conspiracy to bring him down. While he did not mention any names, it is safe to surmise that he is referring to Minister of National Security […]
Flowers fall from grace was not foreseen. The former head of the GSU once provided security for the former Prime Minister Manuel Esquivel and was seen at many political events behind the prime minister including, a rally of the U.D.P. victory in November 2015 general elections. While he claims he and his boss were not […]

It’s not often that News Five is invited within the compound of the Belize Central Prison, currently home to about one thousand four hundred and twenty inmates.

Comments Off on Female Population at Kolbe Gets New Classroom
Just one look at the Belize Central Prison would reveal that it is operating on a shoestring budget. The facilities are adequate, but not more than that. Before the construction of the new building, only possible through the largesse of generous and compassionate donors, the female population had little to write home about – just […]

Comments Off on Prison Finances are Stretched Thin
Yes, you heard right. While the Kolbe group is committed to rehabilitation and turning inmates into productive citizens, the less inmates they have, the less money they get from government and the harder it is to make ends meet. That’s a dilemma that won’t be solved anytime soon. But financial woes aside, Murillo still insists […]
