Seven days into new year and no murders yet
We ended last year with an overall drop in crime but a record number of ninety-seven murders. This year it is a real pleasure to report that the first week of 2008 has not seen a single homicide in Belize and we can only pray that it stays that way. Meanwhile, in Trinidad and Tobago that rich but troubled twin island republic has seen an outbreak of violence that has resulted in an unprecedented twelve murders in the first seven days of the year.
