By Breaking Belize News Staff: The three men charged in connection with the June 2022 murder of 49-year-old Benjamin Hyde Sr. have all been set free.

The trio, 21-year-old Damion Edward Saldano, 22-year-old Shemaud Nunez, and 19-year-old, Azzane Domingo, appeared in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court on Thursday where, by order of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the charges against them were withdrawn.

Nunez was charged with murder while Solano and Domingo were charged with conspiracy to commit murder. They had spent seven months on remand at the Belize Central Prison.

A memo from the DPP said that the decision to withdraw the charges came “In light of a further statement dated January 3, 2023, given by the Investigating Officer.”

Solano and Domingo were released with no issue, however, Nunez was being held on a charge of breaching curfew during COVID lockdowns, so he pleaded guilty to the offense and was fined $650 plus $5.00 cost of court which he was given until May 31, to pay or he will spend two months in jail for defaulting.

Benjamin Hyde Sr. was gunned down on Father’s Day, June 19, 2022, at the corner of East Canal and King Street.
