Two charged in brutal Corozal murder

Police have charged two teenagers from San Joaquin, Corozal, with the savage murder of a fellow villager. When they were summoned to the scene at the home of forty-seven year old Gregorio Tzul around six on Sunday morning, police made the gruesome discovery. They found the partially nude body of his brother, forty-nine year old Eugenio Tzul in the yard not far from Gregorio’s house. The corpse was lying on its back with injuries to the face and back of the head. A piece of wire was tied around the neck and police say there was evidence to suggest Tzul was also sodomised with a piece of TV antenna. But what could have triggered two eighteen year olds to commit such a heinous act? Police say a heavily intoxicated Tzul had apparently met the two teens, Isair Martinez and Arturo Ek, on Saturday night and had made unwelcomed advances to them. The two teens reportedly grew irate and followed Tzul home where they allegedly attacked him. Police say Tzul lived with his brother who was at home at the time of the attack, but because Gregorio was also under the influence and asleep, he did not hear his brother’s calls for help. Martinez and Ek have been remanded to prison pending their next court date on December seventeenth.
