And while it was husband killing common-law-wife in PG on Sunday, on Friday night in Sandhill it was brother killing brother.
It happened at their mother's home at mile near mile 20 around 9:45. 23 year old Brandon Cabanas - who had reportedly been drinking - got into a fight with his younger brother, 20 year old Edward. Edward pulled a knife and stabbed his brother in the legs - and a cousin stepped in to separate them. But - it appears an artery had been severed and Brandon bled to death before they could get him to the KHMH.
Officer in Charge of Ladyville, ASP Chris Noble told us more on Saturday:

"Are you concern about this trend of inter-family violent events in Belize Rural?"
ASP Chris Noble
"The trend is not only Belize Rural Jules, if you look at it there are incidents across the country and its something of concern and its something that we need to look at not as a police department but collectively as all government agencies that would be involved in such repairing of these things."
