Still No Post Mortem For Boco-T
posted (May 3, 2012)
38 year old Belize city resident, Kevin Kelly, known as Boco-T, died in police custody a week ago - and, still, his body is in the KHMH morgue tonight awaiting a post mortem.

It is an extraordinary delay - and the family says it is a cruel one. No reason has been given, but the Police Press Officer today told us that quote, "definitely tomorrow it will be done."

Because of this, his family has had to delay the funeral for this father of three - and tonight, they still have not been able to set a date.

Kelly died in the custody of San Pedro Police last Thursday - which happened to be his mother's birthday. Police say he may have broken his beck when he jumped a fence as he was fleeing from the officers.

Only the post mortem can confirm the cause of death.
