While continue to look into that homicide, they are also trying to figure out what is the motive and who is behind the very violent murder of 43 year old Jose Miguel Abrego. The caretaker of a Citrus farm was shot multiple times and then chopped to death in what police say is a ruthless execution.
The attack happened at around 11 on Sunday Night in his yard. He was sitting down with a male companion, when the gunman arrived and opened fire on them. His companion ran inside the house seeking cover, but the gunman was determined that there would be no witnesses. He fired on the house about 4 more times, and then left.
When Abrego's wife and companion came out, they realized that he had been shot in the neck and chopped another 5 times, as though the assailant was ensuring that he was killed.
The investigators believe that Abrego was killed by an assailant who had a personal grudge against him or his family. That's because Abrego's brother was recently shot by a still-unknown gunman.
It is of note that both of the weekend's murder victims from Central American communities from outside Belmopan were of Salvadorian descent.
