San Pedro radio announcer found murdered in Guatemala

Benque police are once again joining forces with Guatemalan law enforcement … this time to investigate a murder. Around seven o’clock this morning, Belize police were contacted by Guatemalan authorities who informed them that the body of a young woman, believed to be a Belizean, was discovered in Melchor de Mencos. The corpse displayed two gunshot wounds to the chest. Belizean cops have since identified the body to be that of twenty-one year old, Lesly Maldonado. Sources tell News Five that Maldonado, a D.J. at Reef Radio in San Pedro, had friends in Benque and Melchor and was known to frequently visit the area. Maldonado had been working at the radio station for nine months and was on a one week holiday. She was expected to be back at work on Monday, but never showed.
