Jermaine Belgrave

BELIZE CITY, Wed. Sept. 14, 2011

A charge of attempted murder against Jermaine Belgrave, 31, was upgraded to murder yesterday in the #1 Magistrate’s Court.  No plea was taken because the offence is indictable.

Chief Magistrate Margaret McKenzie remanded him into custody until September 22.

Belgrave was charged with the attempted murder of Cleo Robinson, a.k.a “Sick Bitch”, who was shot in his back and abdomen on February 21, 2010.

Belgrave was also charged with dangerous harm and use of deadly means of harm.

The charge was upgraded after Robinson succumbed to his injuries on June 30, 2011.

Robinson had reported to the police that he was riding his beach cruiser bicycle on Glenn Street when he was shot.
