Police Have No Answers Yet in Doyle Garbutt Murder

Chester Williams

Meanwhile, police are still looking for answers in respect to Wednesday night’s murder in the Saint Martin’s area of south side Belize City. Thirty year old Doyle Garbutt was shot once to the head and killed apparently as he drove a white passenger van on Balan Street. We asked Eastern Division South Commander, Chester Williams for an update on that most recent homicide.

“Well you would know that I was not here. I just came back to the country yesterday. And yes, I’ve been following the news as I was away and since I have come back, I have been briefed by my deputy as to the occurrences in my absence. I believe he had given the media an interview on that matter; and I think that we still stand where that interview was left. We have no additional information at this time. It is still an investigation that has us baffling; we are trying to figure out what went wrong. When we have these sorts of murders they are the most difficult to solve; it is not a gang related murder where we can say this gang is responsible or that one as the case may be. So we don’t know what was Mister Doyle’s connection to anyone; why he was in that area…all those information are still unanswered. We continue to probe for answers as we it relates to that investigation.”
