Apart from those bones at the border, we are happy to report that there were no murders or shootings over the weekend…but one man was badly beaten during a robbery. The attack took place in Dangriga around ten-thirty on Friday night. According to police, around eleven that night they were called out to Southern Regional Hospital where they saw thirty-year-old Jose Dina Dias suffering from a large cut wound to his forehead and a bruise under the right eye.
