In our first segment, we told you about the murder in Roaring Creek where 18 year old Maleek Norris was shot near his home. While Belmopan police are very close to solving that case, they are having a lot of difficulty with the June killing of Lionel Gillett. Gillett also known as "Grey" was found dead on the steps of his Rivera area home in Belmopan. Although police have ruled this case a robbery turned murder, they still haven't gotten any substantial evidence or statements to press charges. Today Capital Cops told us what they have so far.
Supt. Howell Gillet, OC, Belmopan
"There is no tangible update at this time. It's an open case. We will never close it until we are able to find out or bring one person or others to justice. It happened in an isolated area and we are finding some problem with that, because the neighborhood is so sparsely divided in terms of the number of houses in that area and possible witnesses and so on. But we have it as a theory that it might have been a robbery and we are investigating it from that point. I know a weapon or more were stolen during that incident and overtime we hold the public to get new information, because it a murder and many people were affected by it - the families and so on and we want to bring closure to it. But yes, it's 
an open case. There is no new update to it and I am not happy to not have an update, but we are doing our very best to bring closure to that one also."
Several people have been detained since the murder but all have been released.
