The body of an elderly woman was discovered inside her home in the Faber’s Road Extension area of Belize City this afternoon.  The woman, sixty eight year old Marie Dawson, was discovered sometime after two this afternoon on Rio Bravo Crescent.  And while there was no evidence of forced entry, the family is still suspicious because Dawson’s door was opened and it was something she rarely did. The family says ,however, it is awaiting the results of the post mortem.  Forensic expert, Dr Mario Estradabran, arrived at the scene late this evening to conduct the autopsy.
