Burnt body found on Highway Dump

Thousands marched against crime earlier today, but this afternoon the partially burnt body of forty-four year old Francisco Villanueva was discovered at a garbage dump near mile fifty on the Western Highway. Police are still in the preliminary stages of their investigation into Villanueva’s death and so far have not made any arrests. Villanueva’s body remains at the Belmopan Hospital where it awaits a post mortem examination. He is murder victim number one hundred and one. It is also the second time this week authorities have been summoned to Roaring Creek to piece together the conditions that led to the death of a villager.  On Wednesday Belmopan police were alerted to the scene of an accidental shooting at a farm near Camalote Village.  There, they discovered the lifeless body of fifty year old Barrington Moore Sr. with an apparent gunshot wound to the neck.  The cause of death for Moore was subsequently ruled as a freak accident as next to his body was a shotgun with what was described as a chop on its stock.  Moore had set out to clear a plot of land off Rowing River Road in the village that morning when he accidentally may have struck his weapon with a machete he was using to chop the property.
