Sr. Supt. James Magdaleno, Head, Nat’l C.I.B.
“About four-fifteen a.m. on the twenty-sixth Belmopan police received information of shots being fired in the preceding area of Belmopan, police visited the area where they discovered a beach cruiser bicycle in a drain on the side of the road on that same area. Further checks were made and we discovered three knives with bloodstain, six nine mm expended shells, two slugs and a cellular phone. On the twenty-sixth about seven-thirty when it was first light police returned to the scene in the area and continued to make searches in the area and about twenty-five yards in the bushes they came across the body of a dark complexioned male person lying face up covered with dry leaves, apparently dead. That person has been identified as Cordel Cayetano, twenty-four years, of a Belmopan/Roaring Creek address. He had what appears to be gunshot wounds to his abdomen, two wounds on the left chest area and a wound on the left side of his head. The investigation continues in Belmopan, we have no suspects at this time.”
