Who would viciously attack a disabled young man who literally cannot hurt a
fly? You are looking at the face of twenty nine year old Kareem Bowen. He is
one of the men who – it is alleged - viciously stabbed nineteen year old
Kenrick Augustus and robbed the disabled teenager of eighty dollars. On Tuesday
Kareem Bowen who is a fisherman of 4082 Sibun Street in Belize City was positively
identified by his victim.
During the ID parade several scratch marks were observed on his back. Those
are believed to be defence wounds caused by Kenrick Augustus as he was dragged
on the street and repeatedly stabbed to his left wrist, right middle finger
and neck. Kareem Bowen has been charged with robbery and wounding while the
other suspect remains at large. He has not yet been arraigned in court.
The ruthless attack occurred in an alley off Mopan Street around three on Sunday
morning. Kenrick Augustus better known as Bolo was walking home after socializing
at MJ’s Club when he was rushed by two men and dragged along the street
into the alley. Augustus who suffers from cerebral palsy was then knifed as
the men stole his money. He cannot speak so Augustus did all he could: he screamed
as loud as possible and the robbers ran off.
It is expected that Kareem Bowen will appear in Belize City Magistrate’s
Court on Thursday where he will be arraigned on the charges of robbery and wounding.
