THE BELIZE TIMES
BNTU WALKS THE WALK! Belize City, May 14, 2016 Unofficial Police sources have reported to the BELIZE TIMES that the Belize National Teacher’s Union march against the Sarstoon Law held on Friday, May 13, had the participation of some 2,500 supporters. Government sources and UDP organs like 7News would claim that the numbers were far less. But the BNTU must not pay attention to the noise. They must stand tall and proud. The BNTU, which joined the Opposition and other groups in calling on the Barrow Administration to rescind the Statutory Instrument which impedes Belizeans from travelling to the Sarstoon River, flexed to show just a sample of its might when it flooded the city streets with its members who stood in support of their Union’s position. BNTU branches countrywide gathered supporters and travelled in buses to the old capital for the demonstration. In support of the BNTU, the Opposition People’s United Party whose leader Hon. John Briceno, National Deputy Leader Hon. Cordel Hyde, Deputy Leaders Hon. Abe-
lardo Mai, Hon. Kareem Musa, Hon. Rodwell Ferguson and Hon. Julius Espat all turned out with a crowd of nationalists as well. The large demonstration moved from the Constitution Park to the downtown area then east towards BTL Park, where they gathered to listen to speakers that included BNTU National President Luke Palacio, National Trade Union Congress President Marvin Mora, Christian Workers Union President Audrey Matura-Shepherd, Senator Elena Smith, Krem Radio’s Mose Hyde and Belize Territorial Volunteers leader Wil Maheia. The BNTU will remain committed to their goal of standing up for Belize. Next on their agenda is a series of sensitization forums for teachers to discuss the ICJ proposal. These will begin on May 18th in Corozal Town, May 24th in Orange Walk, May 25th in Stann Creek at the Ecumenical Auditorium, May 26th in Toledo at the Father Ring Parish Hall, May 31st in Belmopan at the George Price Center, June 1st at the Sacred Heart Auditorium and June 2nd and 3rd in the Belize District.
Violence in Ladyville Escalates
Belize City, Wednesday, May 18, 2016 Two suspects being sought by Police for their connection in Friday night’s shootout and murder in Ladyville turned themselves in on Tuesday afternoon. Egbert Baldwin, 28, and Darwin Prado, 19, will be charged for the attempted murder of Lyndon Gillett, Terence Flowers and Casey Lozano. The three were wounded by gunfire in an attack this past weekend. Ladyville Police have been busy trying to put together the pieces of this violent puzzle. At around midnight Friday Gillett, Lozano and Flowers were apparently socializing around a picnic table in Lozano’s yard on Marage Road. Authorities believe that two men, suspected to be Baldwin and Prado, came from the rear of the yard with the intent to ambush the three men around the table. Preliminary indications are that Lionel Rhamdas, 21, approached the trio from the front of the home to complete the ambush. According to Police, there are two
possible angles to the story which ended with Rhamdas lying dead on the pavement on Marage Road with a gun in his hand. He was either shot by one of the persons under attack returning fire, or shot by accident by one of his two likely accomplices, Baldwin or Prado. A Ladyville Police mobile was only about 500 feet away from the scene when it observed the wounded Casey Lozano and Terence Flowers running in their direction, with persons believed to be Baldwin and Prado in hot pursuit. When the two gunmen spotted Police they escaped into the bushes at the side of the road. So while the two men will be charged for attempted murder, no charges have yet been levied for the murder of Lionel Rhamdas, pending the results of ballistics testing. This latest attack is believed to be an ongoing attempt at retaliation, with Lozano the target, for the murder of Rene “Fat Cat” Chavarria in March, 2016.
