Aside from the four homicides in the City, two additional bodies were found in the west. In Teakettle, dogs alerted a villager to a body that was found off a dirt road. The father of five children had left his Esperanza home to visit his daughter; he never made it. A single shot to his back caused his death. News Five’s Marion Ali reports from the Teakettle.

The peace and quiet in Teakettle Village was disrupted by news of a murder.  A man was killed on a dirt road just a few hundred yards off the Western Highway sometime Thursday night but discovered on Friday morning.

“The man who made the discovery, Lamberto Pop, was riding here on the Young Gial Road sometime after midday on Friday when his attention was drawn somewhere in this area.  Pop told News Five that when he stopped to check he made the grisly discovery.”

“I just passed there, I gone to work. So when I coming back now, like between twelve and one soh. Coming back now, I hear dogs fighting and fighting there. So I just make my mind fi go take wah look because you could see the body because it was just like from hre to that road side there. I saw the body there and from there I got frightened and I went and hollered for help there.”

Pop went to a nearby store to call for the police and when they arrived, they identified the victim as thirty two year old Lyndon Mangar, a father of five who lived in Esperanza Village.  Mangar’s family says that he was going to visit a daughter who lived with his ex-wife when he met his fate.  He was shot to the lower left portion of back.

“Before he died he told my mother that his ex-wife wanted him to see his little daughter.”

“They live off the Young Gial Road?”

“Well, his ex-wife, but they are not presently living together. So they went and it was in the night—that was Thursday night. That was when the incident occured and he gone and actually I noh know if ih mi see ih daughter or not, but that dah when ih get killed.  He told my mother also that before about two weeks or a month, he had a conflict with his ex-wife common-law husband.”

While this is one of the angles which Belmopan police are exploring, they have not detained anyone.  They have also not recovered any slugs from the scene.  Meanwhile, this gruesome act has left Mangar’s relatives calling for what every other aggrieved family wants – justice.

“It is very shocking to us because my little brother was very cool, he was humble. He wasn’t a drinking, smoker or anything like that.  We are really concerned about our brother and all we want to seek is justice.”

Marion Ali for News Five.

Mangar did not live for his thirty-third birthday in October. Instead he will be buried in the next few days.
