By Breaking Belize News Staff: A Belize City man charged with escaping lawful custody has been remanded to the Belize Central Prison.

The accused, 21-year-old, Josiah Bowden, appeared in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court on Monday and pleaded not guilty to the offense. The prosecution explained that Bowden had been charged with making death threats and wounding last week and that the escape charge stems from the same incident.

The Magistrate explained to him that the other two charges would not be read to him at that time and that he will be given the opportunity at a later date to make a plea and defend himself in relation to those matters.

There was no objection to bail and it was granted to him in the sum of $1,000 plus one surety of the same. He was unable to meet bail and was remanded to prison until he can do so.

Bowden is due back in court in June.
