posted (May 15, 2019)
She stabbed 19 year old Anna Villanueva right through the heart - but Corozal resident Zena Armstrong has not been charged for murder. The DPP has told police to charge her for manslaughter for the Sunday night street fight which ended with Villanueva being stabbed in the chest.

Today 20 year old Zena Armstrong was arraigned at the Orange Walk Magistrate's court for manslaughter. She was granted bail of $8,000 and returnd to court on June 17th.

As we told you on Monday, Villanueva and another girl were hanging out in front of the friend's house, when Zena Armstrong allegedly rode by on a bicycle and started to threaten and tantalize the girls. Armstrong approached Villanueva and a fight broke out in which Armstrong stabbed Villanueva. At least one other female - who is Villanueva's friend - told us she was also involved in the fight, trying to part them - and ended up punching Armstrong.

A post mortem examination showed that the 19 year old died from internal bleeding after she was stabbed through the heart.

On Monday, police told us that Armstrong was 19, but she had her 20th birthday at the start of this month. We are told that she had a long history of friction with Villanueva.
