This week in the Northern Session of the Supreme Court three brothers charged for a murderous attack three years ago were convicted. Jesus Olivarez was convicted of murder while his brothers Eliseo and Margarito were convicted of manslaughter.
The charges are in relation to the death of Elvis Vasquez who was killed in Corozal Town on January 31st of 2003. The murder was spurred by an argument inside El Chital Nightclub between the Olivarez brothers and Elvis Vasquez and his brother Victor. The bar brawl ended in blood shed when machetes were drawn in front of the Olivarez’s home.
The case was tried by Justice Michelle Arana. Merlene Moody was the prosecutor and Simeon Sampson defended the Olivarez brothers. All three will be sentenced on November 27th.
