For the third consecutive hearing, the murder case against Goldburn ‘Easy Glen’ Adolphus has been postponed in Belize City Magistrate’s Court due to procedural delays. The 55-year-old former security guard, who has been incarcerated since October 2025, appeared without legal representation as prosecutors confirmed the ongoing unavailability of the complete case file.
The judicial proceedings have been rescheduled for March 26, 2026, extending Adolphus’s detention period which has already included the recent Christmas holidays in remand. The defendant faces charges for the brutal killing of Shaniele Faber, a 42-year-old school warden and mother of four children.
Faber’s disappearance in early October 2025 culminated in the horrific discovery of her mutilated remains on October 4th. A bottle collector located her body concealed within a blue garbage container at the intersection of Amandala Drive and Cemetery Road. The victim, dressed in a black Champion top and denim shorts, exhibited severe traumatic injuries to multiple body regions including her head, limbs, and torso.
Forensic identification was conducted through familial confirmation by Faber’s brother, with official death pronouncement occurring at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital Accident & Emergency unit approximately at 7 p.m. on the discovery date. Her remains were subsequently transferred to the National Forensic Laboratory morgue awaiting post-mortem examination.
Law enforcement authorities indicate that investigative intelligence directed them to Adolphus, with additional evidence emerging from a secondary crime scene at a three-story building near the George Price Highway and Central American Boulevard junction. Police documented substantial forensic evidence including blood spatter patterns, a machete with suspected blood residue, a trolley, and multiple DNA swabs from the location. Critical surveillance footage from the vicinity also contributed to the investigative process.
Despite being offered a formal interview opportunity on October 6th, Adolphus exercised his right to decline questioning. The judicial process will resume in March, marking nearly five months since the initial charges were filed.
