A man's body was found in the Roaring Creek River this morning in the Camalote Village Area, just outside of Belmopan. Police believe that it is a homicide, and a particularly gruesome one at that.
The victim has been positively identified as 28 year-old Edilberto Madrid, a resident of the Emmanuel Area of Roaring Creek Village, who was officially reported missing today, but who had not been seen since Sunday.
It appears that his head had been cut off, sections of all 4 of his limbs were chopped off, and he was gutted. Police aren't saying much at this time until the on site post-mortem is completed, but we have learned from other sources that Madrid was an associate of Roaring Creek Resident, Russell Hyde, whose wife was murdered on last week Sunday.
Madrid's family is getting ready to bury him as soon as the post-mortem is over.
