San Antonio villager hacked to death

A third person was murdered; he is from San Antonio Village in the south. The victim, Armando Bolon, was last seen by his brother Angel on Wednesday morning and by two-thirty that afternoon, he had been killed. Another brother, Silvano, discovered Armando’s body in some bushes as he headed home to their farm. The body was found with three severe cut wounds, but according to Sergeant Octaviano Victorin of the Punta Gorda Police Station, they have not been able to figure out what motivated the brutal murder.

“Punta Gorda Police received information of a body found two miles northeast of San Antonio Village in the Toledo District. Police visited the scene where the motionless body of Armando Bolon, twenty-eight years old—date of birth; the 7/11/1982—of San Antonio Village was found lying on a bush. The body had a large chop wound to the left side of his abdomen, he had a large cut wound on the top of his head and another cut wound on the left side of his head.  The body was brought to the Punta Gorda morgue where it is awaiting post mortem at this moment. Police investigation has led to the detention of one person for questioning. Police continue their investigation so far. The motive of the murder is not yet established but police are seeking other people for questioning likewise.”

“It was on that same day that his brother had seen him about one hour or something like that his brother spoke to him before the incident occurred.”

“Yes, the other person is the one who found the body. He was walking on the same trail going to his farm. Just before reaching their farm is when he discovered his brother in the bush.”

    The machet was always seen as a part of the norm in every household in Belize, but today it is being used for more than just chopping bush, people are being hacked to dead in those little remote villages all across Belize, while gun Violence remain in the city.

    No one will get out of this life alive.
