By Breaking Belize News Staff: A 25-year-old KHMH employee has been charged with wounding his girlfriend following a domestic dispute at their Belize City home.
The accused, Raheem Rodriguez, a clerk/cashier at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Department, appeared unrepresented before Magistrate Mannon Dennison in Court #6 on Tuesday morning, where he was arraigned on a single charge of wounding. He pleaded not guilty and was granted bail of $2,500 plus one surety of the same amount, under strict conditions.
Rodriguez is barred from contacting the complainant or any prosecution witnesses, and must stay at least 100 feet away from her. Magistrate Dennison warned that any breach of these conditions would result in his bail being revoked and immediate remand. Rodriguez met bail by Tuesday afternoon and is due back in court on November 26, 2025.
Police reports indicate that the alleged incident occurred around 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 5, 2025, when Rodriguez reportedly returned home from a night out. The woman told police that after discovering messages on his phone and confronting him, an argument ensued during which Rodriguez allegedly punched her several times in the face, causing her lower lip to bleed.
The woman later went to the police station where a formal complaint was lodged, leading to Rodriguez’s arrest and subsequent charge.
