A 17-year-old who was reported missing on Tuesday has been located. The Belize City minor was found at the Belize Central Prison where he was placed on remand. Our newsroom set out to investigate the circumstances leading to his detention. We spoke with the young man’s uncle, Keron Davis who had reported him missing to the authorities.
From a legal perspective, Love News understands that the rights of the minor may have been breached. For clarity on the process of how a minor should be handled once detained by the Police, we spoke with Attorney Darrell Bradley.
Our newsroom will be seeking an official comment from the Police Department and will report accordingly.
