Unidentified body of murdered man found on Western Highway

The latest murder victim was found on Monday night in an area where several other homicides have been reported. The body of the Hispanic man was discovered shortly after ten about a hundred feet off the Western Highway on Mount Pleasant Road between miles forty-five and forty-six. According to police, the identity of the man is still not known, but he carries distinguishing marks that include tattoos on both arms. Police processed the scene and a post mortem will be conducted at the Western Regional Hospital to determine the cause of death. It is also not known if the man was killed at the scene and when. Officer in charge of the Belmopan Crimes Investigations Branch, Sergeant Ismael Westby, says while there’s very little to go on, the clues that could help in identifying the victim are the tattoos.

“A Hispanic male person was seen lying face up with blood under his head and what is believed to be suspected gunshot wounds under the chin and one on the right side neck.  Based on the conditions of the scene, we don’t believe the body was too long there but it’s up to investigations to further reveal more into that. We have found several tattoos on the body, for example tattoos such as the marking of Mira on the abdomen, also on the chest; the left side of the chest has the marking of love and has a design something of a dragon on the chest. On the abdomen also has a design of that of a skull and then on the right hand has a design of a rose. On the upper left had, there’s a tree design, it has also a flower design, it has the marking of ‘perdoname madre por’, and has on the left hand also has four stars design and three dots design also on the body.”

    TO ME IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE A GANGSTA FROM ACROSS, SINCE ALL THE WORDS ARE IN SPANISH AND THE WAY HE TATOOS MOSLTY HISPANICS FROM GUATEMALA AND EL SALVADOR DOES THAT TYPE LIKE “MADRE PERDONAME POR” OR HIS LIVING IN FLORES OR THOSE OTHER CENTRAL AMERICAN VILLAGES BUT IT’S REALLY CONCERNING.

  4. Bold says:

    “madre perdoname por” sounds like them MS or 18 gang tattoos….mind you, we have both gangs present in Belize….I say pick up all who have gang insignia and force them to remove it or incarcerate them. Those that are immigrants and have gang insignia, lock them down and deport them

    @Rod totally agree with you…………but guess what it sad to know that when election time come again they put them back in power……………….There is a saying my mom likes telling me “(Más vale viejo conocido que nuevo por conocer.)”………………..this is the lesson we are learning everyday with the UDP, the people wanted change and opted for the only other option…………Things were not so bad with the PUP, see what state we are now for putting into power a party that has no leader and no vision just talk. Yet elections come again and guess what the people will do
