There is a second stabbing incident to report on tonight which also occurred on Valentine’s Day in Belize City. Rene Ranguy was walking on Newtown Barracks when he was accosted by two men. One of the men grabbed Ranguy from behind and stabbed him multiple times in the vicinity of the Mexican Cultural Institute. Even as he was knifed twice to the chest and once to the elbow, the other assailant robbed him of a gold-plated chain. His attackers then fled the scene and escaped. Ranguy was transported to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital where he is in a stable condition.  Police did not offer details on this incident at today’s press briefing in Belmopan.
