But, before we get to that, what are regular folks saying about the slaying? It is a murder which has cast a long shadow across all of society because Ernest Meighan was a national sporting icon. Today, our intern Robin Schaffer went to Albert Streets to find out what people think about the sportsman's cruel end:..

Interviewee #1
"Jawmeighan was a good friend of mine and he was a very good young man, wherever I meet him he never passes me without greet me. So they really took a good man's life away."

Interviewee #2
"I feel bad, He is my good friend and one of Belize's best cyclist and I don't think he deserve to die like that. They don't respect our icons anymore."

Interviewee #3
"I feel really bad about it as a sport athlete because lately like a lot of sport athlete is dying. We have to try put a stop to it because it really doesn't make sense right now what is happening in Belize."

Interviewee #4
"I felt very close to him because my father was a cyclist himself, so that's the reason I am a lover of the cross country race. But I must say that I'm totally shock and disappointed at the police's reaction to this major icon on our society being murdered."

Interviewee #5
"I feel very bad about it because in 2007 I lost my son and Jawmeighan was very close to us, so we feel very bad about what's happening with the killing on a whole."

Interviewee #6
"We were so sorry to hear about it. We are just visiting and we heard about it on the news and in New York we follow the Holy Saturday races and so we knew his name. We felt so bad about it and sorry to hear that it happened."

Interviewee #7
"I am very sad because as artist I feel that when we have cultural icons like him because he is an athlete but he is a cultural icon - that they can just be slayed like that I think we reach a point in Belize, it's the high of melting or destruction."

Interviewee #8
"I don't approve of what they did to him because I don't think Belize people should be killing out each other like that especially with the time of the violence, the drugs and the gun, they should put it down and start something fresh."

Interviewee #7
"I am sure in American nobody would just slay a LeBron James just like that or somebody in Brazil would just slay Pele. Its sort a reverence that I think that we are lacking towards our athletes our heroes."

Interviewee #9
"My personal opinion on the whole scenario is I guess bad things happens to good people sometimes."

Interviewee #10
"He was a good role model and for him to lose his life like that for something which he had nothing to do with. I fully agree that this business of "if you can't catch Harry, you catch his shirt" is outrageous."

Interviewee #11
"If you live by the gun, you die by the gun, Jawmeighan did live by any gun. Jawmeighan was a nice rider, he went outside and he did well for Belize and I like how Jawmeighan appreciate himself and did good things. I am vex that they killed him. If you can't catch Harry, don't catch his shirt."

Interviewee #12
"I think it's really sad. He has done a lot for Belize. It's hard to talk about it but it's really sad."

Interviewee #13
"It's sad to know that so many children left without a father right now, so we lose a great warrior and the best Belize ever had."

Again, stay tuned for more about Jawmaine later as look back at his two cross country victories.
