OW Couple’s Death is a Murder Investigation

The discovery of the bodies of husband and wife couple, Rafael and Nancy Huezo, rocked Orange Walk this morning.  According to police, Nancy had what appeared to be an injury to one of her hands. The couple was discovered inside their home on Stadium Street by one of their sons who had stopped by to check up on them.  He found his parents in an advanced state of decomposition. This morning at the bi-weekly press brief in Belmopan, police told the media that the matter is being treated as a murder case, despite the nascence of their investigation.
