And while he is at large, his alleged accomplices are in jail.

Tonight Gabriel Villafranco, the man charged with the murder of 25-year-old Jerry Espat as well as his alleged side-men, Pedro and Sergio Tun, who are themselves charged with the attempted murder of Kirian Espat, use of deadly means of harm, and dangerous harm, are all on remand at the Belize Central Prison. This is despite the fact that the Tun family believes their brothers have a credible alibi.

And while the alleged trio of murderer and attempted murders including Villafranco and the Tun brothers were arraigned yesterday in the San Pedro Magistrate's Court, island cops irrationally refused to allow them to be filmed or photographed. So we captured them today.

These photos taken at Belize City's magistrate's court were snapped in the moments after a committal warrant was issued for all three men.

And at 3:30 this evening, Villfranco and the Tun brothers were escorted into the van and taken to the Belize Central Prison until their next court date set for January 5, 2022.
