By Breaking Belize News Staff: After spending two months and two days on remand, 26-year-old Erynn Alijah Bellezaire walked out of the Belize Central Prison a free woman on Thursday, following a directive from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to withdraw all charges against her.
Bellezaire, who was initially charged in April with dangerous harm and use of deadly means of harm—charges that were later upgraded to attempted murder—appeared before Magistrate Mannon Dennison in Court #6, where she learned that every charge against her had been formally discontinued.
According to a memorandum sent from the DPP’s office to the Belize City Magistrate’s Court, the decision was based on a further statement given to police by the virtual complainant, in which she requested no further court action against Bellezaire.
Bellezaire’s attorney, Orson “OJ” Elrington, told reporters from his Church Street office that he had been preparing to file another bail application at the High Court, following the October 10th denial of bail by Justice Nigel Pilgrim—even after Elrington had informed the court that the complainant had already asked police to halt the matter.
Bellezaire had been denied bail twice—first in Magistrate’s Court, then again in the High Court—resulting in her continued remand until today’s withdrawal order.
She is now home with her child.
Police reports indicate that around 3:40 a.m. on Friday, April 11, 2025, officers responded to a stabbing report at the Digi Park. There they learned that a woman had been admitted to the KHMH with multiple stab wounds to the face and body. She was listed in stable condition.
Investigators were told that the woman and four friends had been socializing at Thursday Thirsty Nightclub before walking over to the park, where they encountered two other women, including Bellezaire. An argument erupted, escalating into a physical fight during which Bellezaire allegedly produced a knife and stabbed the complainant.
Bellezaire was first arraigned on April 14 for dangerous harm and deadly means of harm. On September 25, those charges were upgraded to attempted murder, resulting in her remand.
With today’s decision from the DPP, the case is now closed and Bellezaire’s two-month incarceration comes to an end.
