posted (May 18, 2015)
As we told you earlier, little is known about the two Americans who were killed in a home in Teakettle Village on Friday night. When we spoke to some neighbors today, they told us that the two men were friends and that one of them, believed to be 61 year old Paul David Signorino from Valley of Peace came over to Julian Christopher Jones' home in Teakettle. But after 6 on Friday night a woman 59 year old American teacher Laura Lambert, who is apparently Jones' ex-wife found them dead at this house. Laura Jo Lambert's house, as well as two vehicles in the yard ere ransacked. Two licensed weapons belonging to the deceased, Julian Jones -namely, a 9mm Beretta pistol, and a .22 rifle were missing, and most likely stolen. Today Courtney Wetaherburne found out more about the public life or Julian Jones - an American who retired to sell fish in Belize two years ago.:

We tried to contact any friends or close neighbors who would be able to disclose more information about these men but the only contact we got through to is a vendor in Belmopan who is stationed right beside Jones's food shack. She told us about the very cordial relationship she had with him over the 9 months she has known him.

Courtney Weatherburne reporting
46 year old Julian Christopher Jones was the owner of this food shack in Belmopan: Off The Hook.

He only sold seafood and his specialty was fish and fries.

Although "Fish man" as he was called by other vendors was a private man, he was also very courteous and friendly.

Voice of Business neighbor
"He was a very nice guy. He told me that he has a very big dream that he will sell a land and open a bigger business and then he told me that he has already sold his land and that he will open his big restaurant somewhere, I think in Caye Caulker."

Courtney Weatherburne
"He use to come in everyday, Monday to Friday? Because sometime he use to go fishing right?"

Voice of Business neighbor
"He told me that he open here for 3 days and on the 4th day he goes fishing."

According to the vendor, Jones' closed down his seafood shack about 3 weeks ago. Police have no one detained as yet.
