Today one man lies critically injured in the K.H.M.H. and five others are recovering from wounds they received at the hands of a machete-wielding family in Cristo Rey, Corozal. According to reports, six youths were on the bleachers in a park in Cristo Rey making noise. Villager Guadencio Che approached them and asked them to keep it quiet. Che then left to go home, and the youths allegedly followed and started stoning the house. That incensed the Che family, which attacked the youths with machetes. When the chopping frenzy was done all six youths were badly injured. Kenroy Choc was cut on his left shoulder, left arm and received five chop wounds to the head. Manuel Choc received a chop wound to the head. A sixteen year old minor was chopped on his left hand, while a fifteen year old received a large cut wound to the back of the head.
