Toledo farmer dies of snakebite

Crocodiles are not the only dangerous animals in Belize and Jamaal Swift was not the weekend’s only victim of an attack. On Friday in the Toledo District a farmer died as the result of a snakebite. Police reports indicate that fifty-year old Monico Sho of Mafredi Village was walking to his farm when he was bitten by a yellow jawed Tommy Goff. Sho was taken to a snake doctor at Cattle Landing Village, whose efforts were apparently in vain. Sho was pronounced dead on arrival at Punta Gorda Hospital. The yellow jawed Tommy Goff is known worldwide as a fer-de-lance.
