Late this evening, police charged a third suspect in the murder of Kurlin “Cluck Cluck” Felix, 30, who was killed on Sunday, September 30. Wababa Noralez, 19, who is originally from #23 Canal Street in Dangriga, but also lives at #3 Seagull Street in Belize City, was slapped with several charges when he appeared in front of Magistrate Dorothy Flowers at about 3:30 p.m. today.
The laborer was read two separate charges. Firstly, for the murder of Felix he was charged with one count of murder, and then he was additionally charged with one count each of attempted murder upon Joshua Dyer and Kevin Hendy.
He was also further charged with one count each of deadly means of harm and grievous harm upon Kevin Hendy.
But according to the records, he and another man allegedly were involved in another incident in which Andrew West was shot.
With that, Magistrate Flowers read a second set of charges to Noralez, charging him additionally with the attempted murder of Andrew West, who was shot on August 14 of this year.
With regard to this second incident, Noralez was also charged with use of deadly means of harm and dangerous harm.
In both shooting incidents, Noralez was denied bail and remanded to the Hattieville Prison.
Magistrate Flowers told him that because the matters were indictable, they would be tried at the Supreme Court, hence, she could not take any plea from him.
Felix was shot five times, after which he was unable to elude his attackers and fell into a drain. The gunman reportedly stood over Felix and fired several times at him.
Felix had been sitting under the bus stop on Central American Boulevard, just across the street from Jane Usher Boulevard, along with two of his friends when the incident occurred.
A bullet grazed the right foot of one of Felix’s friends, while the other escaped unharmed.
For the murder and attempted murder offenses against Kurlin Felix, Joshua Dyer and Kevin Hendy, Noralez’s case was adjourned for October 31.
Noralez now joins two other suspects, Cassian Bennett, 18, a resident of a Fabers Road address, who was first charged for the murder of Felix, and a second suspect, Mark Vernon, 19, who is Bennett’s brother.
All three suspects, although charged separately, will appear together on October 31 for the first time.
Noralez’s case concerning Andrew West was adjourned for November 26.
