Retired master corporal John Roy Smith was arrested in a mass shooting that killed two and injured eight, including police officers
Retired master corporal John Roy Smith, 43, was arrested after the shootings at a night club on July 31 in Hopkins Village, a coastal community in southern Belize. He was originally charged by police with two counts of abetment to commit murder but on the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions in Belize those charges were changed to murder.Police allege that Smith drove a getaway car for the gunmen.
Smith and the other men are now in the Belize Central Prison. The allegations against them have not been proven in court. Belize news outlets broadcast video last week of the four handcuffed suspects guarded by heavily armed police as they were led into a court for an initial appearance. Smith appeared to have a black eye. Their next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 9.
