On Friday we told you about the murder of 17 year old Teakettle Resident, Ernesto Wiltshire. Well, tonight, Belmopan police have charged an 18 year old for his murder. He is fellow Teakettle villager Shemar Santos who also happened to be a close and trusted friend of the deceased. But, friend or not, Police believe that Santos chopped Wiltshire behind the head at an area one mile behind Teakettle village and left him for dead. The teenager's body was found on Friday afternoon, but he had gone missing three days earlier. On Tuesday morning, he went swimming with two friends in the River. He returned but his friends called him back to the river, and that is when his family believes this group of friends, all minors, set up to kill him.
A search team found his decomposing body on Friday. A post mortem concluded he died from multiple shop wounds to the head.
So what could have caused the murderous rift between these two teenaged boys? Well, even though he was with friends, the family notes that there may have been a rift, and some resentment between them. The family also believes that other members of the crew who are minors were also involved in luring him to his death - and they want those persons charged as well.
