There were 4 shootings in Belize City, which resulted in 2 fatalities, and 2 victims who continue to recover from injuries. In the Stann Creek Creek, a man was mauled to death by 2 pitbull dogs.
But, we start our newscast tonight, with a tragedy from Corozal. Police from that district are awaiting the results of a post-mortem to determine how a 20 days' old premature baby died.
The child, who would have been named Laureny Pena, was at home with her parents, Laura and Raul Pena, at their house in San Andres Village. At around 2 o'clock on Saturday morning, they woke up and realized that little Laureny wasn't breathing. They then rushed her to the Corozal Community Hospital, but, by the time they arrived, the doctors couldn't do anything for her.
The parents have told our colleagues at CTV 3 News that they have absolutely no idea how her health took such a turn for the worse. Legally, she is unregistered, but they intended to name her as "Laureny Pena". After the post-mortem, police will know how to proceed with their inquiry into her demise.
