A female Customs Officer was savagely stabbed to death by her common law husband in Benque Viejo Town this afternoon just before 3:00 p.m.
25 year-old Keisha Buller, a Customs Officer Clerk posted at the Western Border, was at her rented home on George Street, in Benque. She and her common-law husband got into a heated domestic dispute, but it escalated dramatically when he pulled a knife and stabbed her first in the stomach and then in the neck and shoulder. The fight went from the house all the way to the streetside where she collapsed and died near her car. Buller's grandmother was there, and she tried to protect her grand-daughter - who got as many as ten stab wounds.
Buller bled out, and her common-law Ervin Wade fled the scene with their 4 year-old son. Police set chase and intercepted his white pick-up on the Western Highway near Galen University in the Central Farm Area heading to Belize City. Inside the vehicle, police observed bloodstains.
He's now in lockdown at the Benque Viejo Police Station, pending murder charges. A knife believed to be the murder weapon was found at her home. Police are gathering statements and expect to bring charges.
Buller's death comes as a shock to her colleagues in the Customs Department. She only recently passed her promotion exam, and her career was on the rise. She was about to finish up a two year stint in Benque and was leaving on vacation next week. But, the picture is not as perfect as it may appear from the outside: police have confirmed that she did make multiple reports of domestic violence against Buller. But no criminal or court action came out of it, because, in each case, she went to the police or to the Court to request that the charges be dropped. So in every case, he was released without charges. Our sources say they lived together in Benque Viejo, and had separated some weeks ago - but she recently took him back. We are also told that he didn't work and she was supporting him.
