Elden for Murder
posted (January 22, 2020)
22 year old Elden Flowers now faces a charge of murder as his alleged victim, Richard O'Neal, has died. You may recall that on 27th November, Belize City resident Richard O'Neil was kidnapped, taken to an area off the Boom - Hattieville road, shot, dumped on the roadside and left for dead. But, he somehow survived in a critical condition. Three weeks after O'Neil died. That death has now resulted in an upgrade of the charges on the alleged shooter Elden Flowers. Flowers was arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Tricia Pitts Anderson. He was further remanded until March 31.

It is not Flowers first murder charge. In 2017 he was charged with the murder of Randolph Johnson, 19, who was shot and killed. In July last year he was acquitted of Johnson's murder by Justice Colin Williams in a trial without jury.
