Two charged with beating murder in Dangriga

A B.D.F. Corporal and a Dangriga resident are tonight charged with murder following the death of forty-three year Clifford Weller. Around seven thirty on Friday night police found Weller lying unconscious at a home in Dangriga’s Benguche area. Weller was lying on a verandah with an injury to the forehead and badly swollen right foot.

Initial police investigations reveal that Weller had a misunderstanding with B.D.F. Corporal Elroy Cacho and around seven thirty on Friday night he went to the soldier’s house armed with a machete. But upon reaching the location authorities say was met by Cacho and his friend identified as forty-five year old Thomas Sabal. It is not yet certain exactly what transpired but police say both Cacho and Sabal were able to disarm Weller and then beat him with a piece of board. Weller remained in a coma for two days before succumbing to his injuries.
