Manhunt on for two Guatemalans following killing in Alta Vista

Dangriga police may have arrested one alleged murderer, but they are still on a manhunt for two other suspected killers. Guatemalans twenty-nine year old Carlos Adelmito Zuniga and forty-one year old Neftali Cruz, both of Alta Vista in the Stann Creek Valley, are being sought for the murder of thirty year old Ismael Castellanos. Castellanos’ lifeless body was found around eleven forty-five Friday night in an orange grove near the village. It had several chop wounds to the head and body. Authorities report that their investigation has revealed that Castellanos and his brother were drinking heavily that night when they became involved in an altercation with a number of other men. It is not known what the argument was about, but it did not take long before machetes were drawn. According to Isidoro Castellanos, he and his brother were chased into the orchard where he managed to escape but Ismael was cornered and repeatedly chopped. Zuniga and Cruz are considered armed and dangerous. If you know the whereabouts of either man, please call the nearest police station or Crime Stoppers at 0-800-922-8477.
