But, the first Government official who urged caution and restraint about the Conorquie murder was Foreign Affairs Minister Wilfred Elrington.
The cautious position was maintained in an official release from the Ministry of National Security who referred to the culprits as "Hispanic males."
Today, when asked about it, Matura-Shepherd called out Elrington, suggesting that his handling of this delicate situation is trivializing the significance of Conorquie's death in the line of duty:
Audrey Matura-Shepherd, President - CWU
"There should be more than an apology. I have not yet even heard a public condolence issue. I have not even heard anything that they say they will improve their training, they will give them better support. I have not heard anything. I haven't even heard compensation to the family. I have heard nothing. There should be more than apology and to this nation and the minister of foreign affairs better be re-track his mad statement that he docent believe its Guatemalans or the evidence doesn't bear it. So is he saying that the police, the BDF and the special constable are lying?"
Today, Matura's Christian Workers Union sent out a release saying the rally and motorcade starts tomorrow at 9:00 am in Cayo.
