For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ Thirty-two-year-old Bride’s Alley resident, Bartholomew Lucas remains hospitalized at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, recovering from a gunshot wound to the groin. The injury was inflicted by his common-law-wife, Tanice Mejia on Wednesday morning, around nine-thirty, at a house at the corner of Magazine Road and Vernon Street in Belize City. Police confirmed today that there are a number of documented incidents of domestic violence between the couple and the gun violence was the result of an argument minutes earlier. Mejia reportedly got hold of an unlicensed nine-millimetre pistol and fired three shots, one of which caught Lucas on the crotch. As Lucas recovers, Mejia remains in police custody; Inspector Wilfredo Ferrufino says that the D.P.P. will determine what if any charges will be levied.
