Unidentified Body In Indian Church; Signs Of Violence Discovered
posted (February 24, 2016)

About a month ago, we told you about the gruesome murder of 51 year-old Francisco Arrevalo, chairman of the remove Orange Walk Village of Indian Church. Well late this evening, Orange Walk Police had to return to that normally quiet village for yet another killing. 

The male victim remains unidentified at this time, and reports to 7News are that he was discovered across a lagoon in the Village, near to a resort. His body was discovered by a birdwatcher, and when the authorities went to investigate, they found that his hand was tied behind his back, a rope was around his neck, and there were what appeared to be stab wounds. Even More frightening than that is that parts of the victim’s body was missing, and it is believed that it may have been eaten by wild animals, most likely crocodiles. 

When our colleagues at CTV3 News left the scene, police were still processing it, and we’ll have more for you on this developing story tomorrow.
