Jose Alberto Requeña was stabbed multiple times and died in a drain as he headed to his house in the village. Police were able to retrieve the murder weapon and detain the main suspect within hours of the incident. Today, Dangriga police formally arrested and charged another villager, Emort Pineda for his murder. A motive, however, for the crime has not been established as yet.
