Hon. Francis Fonseca, Leader of the Opposition
"The attack on Danny Conorquie Mr. Speaker is not only an attack on him and his family and the police community, but it is an attack on all Belizeans. An attack on our national sovereignty, an attack on our territorial integrity, it's an attack on our dignity as Belizeans citizens and the Belizean people expect that we respond to it accordingly. No effort should be spared. No stone left unturned Mr. Speaker, in investigating this crime and bringing these killers to justice. We expect and in fact we demand that the relevant Guatemalan authorities treat this matter as if on of their own security forces had been shot down and killed and do everything within their borders to find these cowardly killers."

Hon. John Saldivar, Minister of Nat'l Security
"We do believe that the perpetrators are Guatemalans, but we have no evidence that has been left at the scene or has been uncovered so far to confirm this and we cannot recklessly state that we have evidence when we are in possession of such evidence. But as the Leader of the Opposition has said, we will leave no stone unturned, we will spare nothing to get to the bottom of this and hopefully bring the perpetrators to justice."

Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"I just this morning had the privilege,sad though the circumstances were of meeting with his mother and his aunt. I had communicated with them by phone earlier on but today I was able to receive them in my office and both from what they said and the reports of those who have served with him and people who knew him, this was really an outstanding and exemplary young man. The loss of life in circumstances which has occurred in Caracol is always tragic, but one can't help but feel that there was a particular element of absolute consummation, confounded if you will, given the personality of young Danny Conorquie."
