Corpse in Mopan believed killed in Guatemala

While we previously mentioned the weekend’s lack of violence, it must be noted that police in Benque Viejo did find a dead body today on the banks of the Mopan River just inside Belizean territory. It will not be counted in our official statistics, however, as it is all but certain that the death occurred in Guatemala. The victim, fifty-five year old Carlotta Yacab, is a Belizean who resides in Melchor de Mencos. The body displayed head injuries and police are working in cooperation with their colleagues across the border to crack the case.
