The body of a male murder victim was found in the Rivera area of Belmopan today. Police have confirmed his identity as 45 year old Lionel Gillett, who lived near to where he was murdered in Western Belmopan.

He was last seen alive at 9:00 last night – and found dead today after police got an anonymous tip. The body was already decomposing, so a post mortem was conducted on site this evening. Police know that he was shot to death, but up to newstime, could not share any particulars. We'll have more on this story tomorrow.
