In the past few days, there’s been a lot of back and forth about the
human remains found over the weekend in a cane field in the Orange Walk District.
The question is: are they Armick Escobar’s? The twenty two year old had
been missing since July fifteenth. Well tonight, 7NEWS
has also been reliably informed that the Escobar family is satisfied that the
clothing and personnel possessions found among the remains are his.
Those clothes include a three quarter grey Dickies pants, a gray and white
polo shirt, and a pair of black and green Jordan tennis shoes. A key was also
found – which the family has identified as his. But what’s been
dealing everything is the fact that police buried the remains without them being
identified. Now, we are informed that they will be exhumed tomorrow. After that
the family is making arrangements are to have the remains of Armick Escobar
laid to rest in Stann Creek.
But while the remains have now been identified as that of Armick Escobar what
remains a mystery is why he was killed. The remains showed that his hands had
been bound, and he was shot once to the head. Belize City Police have no leads
in this case and they have no one detained or in custody for the murder. If
you can assist the police in solving this case call the nearest police station
or Crime Stoppers 0–800-922–TIPS.
