By Breaking Belize News Staff: Well-known UDP activist Goldburn Adolphus, better known as “Easy Glen,” has been committed to stand trial at the High Court for the October 2025 murder of 42-year-old school warden and mother of four, Shaniele Faber, whose mutilated body was discovered stuffed inside a blue garbage drum in Belize City.
Adolphus, 56, appeared unrepresented before the Chief Magistrate on Tuesday, November 10, where his preliminary inquiry was finally conducted following several adjournments. At the conclusion of the proceedings, the court committed his case to the January 2027 session of the High Court.
However, Adolphus expressed shock and disappointment over the absence of his attorney, claiming his aunt had paid $1,200 for legal representation during the preliminary inquiry.
His former attorney, Norman Rodriguez, submitted a letter informing the court that he no longer represented Adolphus. When approached for comment, Rodriguez disputed the amount reportedly paid, saying he had received only $800 and that Adolphus subsequently indicated his aunt would handle the matter.
Adolphus said he intends to report the matter to the Bar Association and seek new representation, possibly from prominent criminal attorney Richard “Dickie” Bradley.
During the preliminary inquiry, the prosecution submitted 16 witness statements, 12 documentary exhibits and seven additional exhibits, including forensic evidence, surveillance footage and materials recovered during the murder investigation.
Adolphus also provided the court with the names of four witnesses, two men and two women, whom he intends to call during his High Court trial.
Faber’s partially decomposed body was discovered on October 4, 2025, after a bottle collector searching a garbage drum at the corner of Amandala Drive and Cemetery Road made the horrifying discovery.
According to previous reporting by Breaking Belize News, investigators recovered a bloodstained machete, trolley and suspected blood evidence from a nearby apartment. Police also obtained surveillance footage allegedly linking Adolphus to the disposal of the drum.
Adolphus was initially arraigned on October 7, 2025, and has remained on remand at the Belize Central Prison since then.
He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
