Charges Upgraded For Cliff Kirk Killers
posted (July 19, 2018)
Police have upgraded the charges against the San Pedro trio who allegedly shot and robbed 60 year old American Clifford Kirk.

22 year old Christian Espat, 25 year old Nigel Williams, and a 16 year old minor have now been charged for murder. The three who are already remanded for attempted murder, will now be taken back to court to be arraigned again on this upgraded charge.

Two weeks ago, they allegedly went to his home - in a remote area on Western Ambergris Caye - 10 and a half miles north of the town. The property is only accessible by water craft - and they reportedly went on a pair of jet ski's. They shot Kirk in the head as he was coming down the stairs and then stole a number of items from the US Army veteran's home, including a pistol.

Kirk survived the gunshot and was airlifted to a hospital in Maryland - where the former Lt. Colonel died 5 days later. He and his wife had been active in the San Pedro community.
