Turning now to police news, four persons are detained in the investigation into the murder of British woman, Michelle Anison. Police say that her practice of taking a few with villagers may have contributed to her demise:
ASP Alejandro Cowo, CIB - Belize City
"Upon inspection of the body it had several stab wounds to the chest and to the neck area. The information we have is that the last time she was seen alive was on Monday, sometime after 10:30 in the morning."
"Her vehicle is up to now missing and other belongings are also missing."
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"Okay, so then are you all able to say if the person was there, forced entry or the person it appears had some...?"
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"There was no forced entry into the apartment and so far we have four persons that were detained. One was detained yesterday and we are presently conducting interviews with them so as to see what kind of evidence we can get in regards to the interviews we're conducting."
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"Might she have been socializing and then things progressed from there where someone was able to get into her apartment and kill her?"
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"That is the same information that we have received. Yes, we have gotten that she is a very friendly person and that she was out with the villagers, socializing with them. But the important thing from the information we got is that she had never taken anybody to her house to socialize. All the socializing that she did was outside in the establishment, but not at her house. We are looking at some individuals that we believe that were close to her that we can get more information from them."
Because of the advanced state of decomposition her body was found in, she had to be buried immediately. Her vehicle, a grey Nissan Rogue remains missing.
Anison worked as a volunteer at the Liberty Children's Home in Ladyville. She had lived in Ladyville for about 5 years.
