Christian Pineda

Four persons, including three minors, have been arrested and charged for the murder of twenty-six-year-old UB student Kevin Frutos. A sixteen-year-old, two seventeen-year-olds and twenty-two-year-old Christian Pineda were all arrested and charged for murder.  Five days after he was reported missing, the student was found murdered and partially buried in some bushes off the George Price Boulevard in Belmopan. Initial information suggested that Frutos was last seen at the bus terminal but police later said that Frutos was last seen alive socializing with a group of men. Police say Frutos was robbed, his throat was slashed and his body was dumped.
