His family says they have an alibi for him at the time of his murder - but police believe they have strong evidence linking him to the Cowo murder.

ASP Alejandro Cowo OC-CIB Belize City
"No murder weapon was recovered."

Reporter
"Since that man has been charged, has a motive been ascertained for that murder?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"There is no motive, as I mentioned in the last press brief, at the time of his detention, he was being interviewed by police. However, he did not say anything much in regards to that shooting there."

Police suspect that the murder may be related to underworld dealings. Cowo's family believes that police may have had a hand in it since Cowo was leading a criminal prosecution against two constables.
