Last night, we told you about the bizarre case out of Belmopan where a 14 year-old boy on horseback was accused of lassoing another high school student by the foot like cattle, and dragging him down a walkway at high speed near the Social Security office.
As we told you, the accused young man is experienced in rounding up cattle, but, he allegedly used those skills against another teenaged boy. We asked police about the case this morning, and here's what they had to say about it:
ACP Joseph Myvette - Head, NCIB
"Warren Singh, a 15 year-old student at the Belmopan Comprehensive High School, reported to police that on Tuesday, sometime around 2:40 p.m., as he exited the school gate, he observed a male person riding a horse, at the time who had a rope. The person then threw the rope around him, which ended up somewhere on the vicinity of his feet. As a result, the rope was tightened, and he dragged a distance away on a nearby field. Police have since detained a 14 year-old minor who has since also been arrested and charged for the crime of wounding. Singh at the time, also suffered abrasions to different parts of his body."
We're told that the victim suffered extensive scrapes and abrasions to the legs and buttocks. Reports are that there has been a history of bullying between these two boys.
