At the top of the news, we brought you coverage of last night's 3 shootings in the Belize and Cayo Districts which left 4 persons dead and 4 persons injured.
Police called an impromptu press conference to address the spike, and it also gave us an opportunity to ask them about their investigations into 3 cases of urgent national interest.
We start first with police's comments on the Toledo double murders of the sisters, Josephina and Crecencia Oh.
We told you how the Toledo Alcaldes Association has offered to help the cops investigate the case, realizing that the remoteness of the location could prove difficult. When the press asked the Head of the National Criminal Investigations Branch about possible updates, he said that they are still investigating:
ACP Joseph Myvette - OC, NCIB
"In respect to the double murder in PG the police have launched intensive operations and up to this morning there are 5 individuals that are detained and are currently being interviewed to see if any useful information in regards to the investigation can be obtained from them."
Today, the Toledo Alcaldes Association sent out a release to note that the family of the Oh sisters are dismayed that graphic photographs were circulated on social media. They are calling for sensitivity to the family's grief, and for these pictures to be taken down.
