A Belize City man, Toney White, 31, has been denied bail following a domestic dispute that escalated into serious threats against his ex-partner, Raisha Nicholson, and their children. Nicholson alleges that White threatened to kill her and burn down her house after a heated argument. She claims that her initial attempts to seek help from the police were ignored, prompting her to turn to social media. Her Facebook post detailing the incident quickly went viral, leading to swift action by authorities. According to Nicholson, White threw a coconut at her during the altercation, narrowly missing her, and repeatedly threatened her life and the lives of their children. Police apprehended White two days later, and he now faces three charges: aggravated assault with a dangerous instrument, threats of death, and threats to damage property. During the court hearing, prosecutors emphasized the need to send a strong message against domestic violence. White, who has no prior convictions and is a father of three, argued for bail but was denied by the magistrate. He retains the right to apply to the High Court for bail. Nicholson recounted the harrowing incident, stating that she was waiting for her children to return from a nearby store when the threats occurred. She expressed frustration with the initial police response, noting that her calls for help were disconnected multiple times. Ultimately, she received assistance after reaching out to a relative who is a police officer. The case has sparked widespread attention, highlighting the urgent need for effective responses to domestic violence.
