ASP Selvyn Tillett, OC, Orange Walk Police
"On Sunday the 24th of July 2016 at 5:15am, acting upon information received, Orange walk police visited an area on Saint Peters Street next to the football field where they saw the motionless body of a male person in an open area with a single visible cut wound on the right side of his neck. Investigations revealed that sometime around 3am that date, someone who was passing by heard a loud cry from the area where the body was found. Shortly thereafter they saw 2 male persons riding off on bicycles. Motive for this is unknown at this moment. The only leads which we are following is of these 2 persons who were seen fleeing the area. We have gotten descriptions of the person and the bicycles which they were riding, so hopefully we can trace down these individuals."

Azueta was a Technical Drawing teacher at Comprehensive - he is the second Comprehensive teacher to buy this summer. Police have not detained any suspects and have not found the murder weapon.
