Hunter charged in fatal accident

Police in San Ignacio have moved quickly to charge one person in connection with the shooting death of a Georgeville resident on Wednesday night. Thirty-seven year old Sergio Castaneda is charged with manslaughter by negligence and causing the death of Pablo Darimple Loague by careless conduct. Castaneda, Loague and another Georgeville resident, Clive Alford, were on a hunting trip on Wednesday night in the upper Barton Creek area of the Mountain Pine Ridge when the incident happened. Castaneda told police that while hunting, he heard noises in the bush, and thinking the movements were those of a wild animal, fired in the direction. Loague was fatally wounded in the face and upper part of his chest and died at the scene.
