By Breaking Belize News Staff: A Coast Guard officer accused of repeatedly stabbing his estranged common-law wife—who is also a police constable—has been remanded to the Belize Central Prison following his arraignment on Wednesday at the Belize City Magistrate’s Court.
Twenty-five-year-old Brian Chiac, a Coast Guard officer originally from Big Falls, Toledo District and residing in Belize City, appeared unrepresented before a Senior Magistrate in Court #6, where he was read three indictable charges: attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, and wounding of WPC #2716 Jessica Pou.
No plea was taken, and due to the seriousness of the allegations, Chiac was denied bail and remanded until January 12, 2026.
During the arraignment, Chiac informed the court that he had received documents to present to the Magistrate. These turned out to be summonses from the Belize Family Court, where WPC Pou has applied for both a protection order and an interim order under the Domestic Violence Act.
He is scheduled to appear before the Belize Family Court on December 10, 2025. The Magistrate explained to him that these orders were sought due to his alleged threats and abusive behavior, and that he must comply with whatever directives the Family Court issues.
If Chiac remains on remand, prison authorities will transport him for that hearing via removal order. If he secures bail from the High Court before then, he must appear on his own.
According to the chilling police report provided by the victim, the incident unfolded around 3:35 a.m. on Monday, November 24, at a Gibnut Street residence.
WPC Pou told investigators that Chiac came home intoxicated and demanded she transfer $4,055.13 he had given her to save. When she hesitated, he accused her of infidelity and threatened to stab her—threats he allegedly repeated while on speakerphone with his father.
Fearing for her life, Pou locked herself in the bedroom. Chiac allegedly kicked and broke through the door, slid his body through the opening, and confronted her. After briefly leaving the room, he returned with a kitchen knife and demanded she “transfer my [expletive] money,” she reported.
Pou says she complied and transferred the money—showing him a screenshot of the completed transaction—but he still accused her of lying and began stabbing her multiple times as she sat on the bed. The injuries included four stab wounds to her left arm and two to her right foot.
The victim said she repeatedly begged Chiac to call for help. He allegedly refused and threatened to kick her, but eventually dialed 911, allowing her to briefly tell the operator that she had been stabbed and give her address before he took the phone away.
Police responding to the scene found Pou lying in a pool of blood inside the home. She later regained consciousness at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, where she provided her full statement to investigators.
Chiac returns to Family Court on December 10, 2025 and he is due back in the Magistrate’s Court on January 12, 2026.
Chiac remains on remand at the Belize Central Prison as investigations continue.
