Accused Killer Gets Off
posted (June 18, 2018)
A 23 year old from Cayo is free of murder charges tonight after four years on remand. Joseph Vacarro was charged for Victor Vargas's murder back in 2014.

This morning in the Belmopan Supreme Court, Prosecutor Porsha Staine- Ferguson withdrew the charge of murder against Vacarro Junior leaving only Steven Gomez to face the charge alone. The charge was withdrawn because there was no evidence to prove joint enterprise between Vacarro and his co-accused. The DPP's office will now proceed to trial against Gomez for Victor Vargas's murder.

Vargas was a 34 year old father of 7 Victor Vargas from Unitedville. He was trying to part a fight when one of the men stabbed him in the throat.
