Friday, January 23, 2015. BMG: A jury of his peers has acquitted Cordel Flores, 26, of the 2009 murder of eighteen year old Alberto Allen.

The trial ended late last night when the jury of 9 women and 3 men returned to the courtroom of Justice Troadio Gonzalez with the verdict following five hours of deliberations.

The same jury was hung in respect of a second accused man, 23 year old Warren Lewis, who has been sent back to the Belize Central Prison on remand, pending a determination by the Director of Public Prosecutions if Lewis will be indicted for Allen’s murder.

Allen was shot in the back and his throat was cut on August 19, 2009.

Allen’s body was found on a feeder road off the George Price Highway near Mile 4.
