Nevis Bethancourt almost had his hand chopped off 12 days ago in Santa Elena, Cayo - and now police have charged him for murder.

On Thursday, July 27th., 31 year old Bethancourt shot and killed 37 year old Jose Nunez Castellanos - who he says was chopping his hand at the time.  And while he claims self-defence, there are other versions of the story which put Bethancourt as the aggressor who pend fire on Nunez Castellanos.  

It happened at a restaurant which Bethancourt’s mother had called him to, reportedly after Castellanos disrespected her.  

Bethancourt was released from the Loma Luz hospital yesterday and then taken into the police station for questioning.  He was charged with murder today and will be remanded to prison.
