“Police received a call of an apparent suicide in the San Ignacio area, the call came from a daughter who alleges that her mother had just committed suicide and that she was on her way to the airport. She and her mother are both Canadian national, and so we found the call very strange and so we had notified the airport to stop the woman if she would arrive there. That is the daughter, while police went and made checks at the home. Upon arrival the body of the mother was found in the preliminary state of decomposition. It was taken to the morgue on Boom Road, where a post mortem was conducted yesterday, and the post mortem revealed that the mother had some broken ribs and some cuts on the wrists. According to the pathologist, the injuries are consistent, not with suicide, but rather more with homicide. And so the data is being interviewed by the police to ascertain exactly what may have transferred with her mother.”

Chester Williams
“Yes, we don’t believe her story.”
