Man murdered in Corozal

Meanwhile in the North, Corozal police continue their investigation into the death of sixty-two year old Amado Castillo of Paraiso Village on Saturday night. Castillo was seen earlier that morning in Corozal Town and was apparently returning home when he was brutally murdered. Police say they quickly went out to the scene after receiving a call shortly before nine informing them that the body of a man was seen lying on the Santa Rita Road. At first police say they thought it was a hit and run accident, but upon observing the body, they saw fourteen stab wounds. The post mortem examination revealed that Castillo had died due to a puncture wound to the heart. According to Ewart Itza, the officer in charge of the Corozal Police Station, they detained several people for questioning, but have since released them. Itza says at this time they do not have a motive for the killing.
