So the Police knew about Mason’s past since last year. And the conman slash extortionist slash kidnapper has been under active investigation for a violent kidnapping at gunpoint of Mennonite Lloyd Friesen and his wife for two months. Yet, Deputy Prime Minister Patrick Faber has admitted that on June seventh, six weeks ago, he was […]
Deputy Prime Minister Faber was able to enjoy drinks at Mason’s home on June seventh because police were investigating a serious allegation of kidnapping against him, but never picked him up. At a press conference Monday, Acting Commissioner of Police Russell Blackett explained that going onto his property would be tricky so they waited for […]
The Barrow administration is faced with an embarrassing situation, following the murder of Pastor Llewellyn Lucas. In the aftermath of the ghastly homicide last Friday, it has come to light that the prime suspect, Guyanese/Canadian businessman William Mason, was well connected with sitting cabinet ministers. Mason is known to have hobnobbed with a number of […]
Back to the Prime Minister…According to the P.M., the issue of Mason’s connection to members of cabinet came up during their weekly meeting on Tuesday. As we have reported, Lucas and the pastors went to Mason’s house to collect monies on behalf of Lloyd Friesen and his wife to whom Mason was indebted to the […]
On Monday, at a press conference held by the Ministry of National Security, it was revealed that police had been pursuing Mason for several weeks, following a report of an alleged kidnapping. Tailing Mason, it seems, did not include a raid of his premises. During that time however, several conspicuous events, including congratulatory drinks in […]
The People’s United Party came out swinging today, strongly criticizing the Barrow administration, as well as the Belize Police Department in a press conference at Independence Hall. The P.U.P. has expressed serious concerns that the criminal investigation involving suspected murderer William Mason may not be handled properly since there is said to be a close […]
So, did Mason act with impunity because he may have been protected by higher-ups in law enforcement? Here’s the prime minister’s response to that question. Prime Minister Dean Barrow “There can be no business of the man having gotten any kind of protection which allowed him to continue to pose a threat to public […]
Throughout the unfolding ordeal, several questions have been asked about Mason’s Belizean citizenship. Despite the many assumed names: William Ferguson, Ted Ouellet, Raj Ouellet, Danny Ouellet and Ramesh….Mason was in possession of a Belizean birth certificate bearing the name he presently uses. That nationality document says that Mason was born in Crooked Tree in 1970…even […]
The issue of Mason’s licenses to lawfully have in his possession an arsenal of weapons was also brought up today. Opposition Leader John Briceno questioned the acquisition of those gun licenses, as well as his citizenship; citing both as failures in due diligence on the part of the Police Department and the Immigration Department, respectively. […]
Perhaps the explanation of the Police reticence in grabbing Mason for two months seems incredible because high-ranking Police officers seemed quite comfortable and cozy on that very same property. By now the picture of GSU Commander Mark Flowers hugging Mason on that very property has gone viral. Today, we asked about Flowers’ presence there, as […]
And finally on our coverage of Mason for tonight, we asked about the obvious presence of elite Police units during the attempted arraignment of the five men on Monday in Belmopan, and also in Belize City on Tuesday. The Police seemed intent on keeping the media away from the five accused murderers, or at least […]
GSU Commander Mark Flowers has been pictured grinning from ear to ear, cozily hugging William Mason, but depending on the outcome of an investigation currently underway, he won’t be smiling anytime soon. That’s because Flowers could very well be facing interdiction and criminal charges if allegations of carnal knowledge made against him turn out to […]
The B.T.L. arbitration award, as well as the economic impact of having to dole out hundreds of millions of dollars to compensate for the nationalization of the utility company, remains a matter of national importance. While it has taken a backseat because of the bizarre murder of Pastor Lucas, it is very much alive in […]
Briceño, during the press conference, also broke down the arbitration award into annual payments, calculating the figure retroactively to the 2009 nationalization of the utility company. John Briceño, P.U.P. Leader “They have explained that they will borrow, but they have failed to explain how we will pay. They have said that they can borrow […]
On Sunday, a fourteen-foot crocodile attacked and killed eight year old Adrianna Moody as she swam with cousins and an aunt in the river that traverses the village of May Pen, Belize District.

Secondary and primary school students are on holidays and away from the classrooms. But there is a way to keep them occupied in ongoing programs.

In early June, to kick off the hurricane season, the City Emergency Management Organization held its usual press conference at City Hall to update the public on preparedness. One man who played a role in that press conference was no other than William Mason, the alleged mastermind in the cruel beheading. Mason played the role […]
To be fair to Mayor Bradley, he genuinely didn’t recognize Mason and told us he was recommended by Councilor Phillip Willoughby who is responsible for CEMO. Still, he maintains that there was no way he could have known that Mason is allegedly a scam artist, and could be responsible for such a heinous crime. […]
One of William Mason’s properties is located at mile thirty-one on the George Price Highway.

And this last bit of information on William Mason or Danny Mason for tonight’s newscast…A while ago we received a response from DPM Faber on his relationship with Mason. This is what he had to say: “I have met Mister Danny twice. Once in 2015 via Minister John Saldivar and again on the day of […]
There is a proposal for a new project in Belize City which would see the old capital exploring water sports at Sandlighter’s Promenade. It’s an innovative concept which has been presented to all relevant regulatory stakeholders by young investor Raul Pelayo. It’s called Mayan Cable Tubing Limited, and this afternoon there was a soft launch […]
The project will make use of a minimal amount of space on the promenade and will not obstruct the waterway. Still, the Mayor is making it clear that if residents of the city don’t give the project a green light, then that will be the end of that. Darrell Bradley, Belize City Mayor “Essentially […]
Today, as Mayor Darrell Bradley denied knowing accused murderer William Mason, he also deflected rumors of two hundred thousand milling out of the municipal bond sinking fund.
