O.W. body is murder victim
The body of a man found in the Orange Walk District on Friday has been identified. He is twenty-eight year old Machelo Melendez, a resident of San Francisco Street in Orange Walk Town. Melendez’s body was found clothed in black pants, a brown shirt, black shoes and had been wrapped in a sheet. A post mortem conducted after the grim discovery revealed the cause of death to be multiple stab wounds to the head and abdomen. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, authorities suspect he had died at least three days before he was found off a feeder road in the area of Trial Farm.
