ComPol Says Arrests Coming Shortly for Coleman Murder

Thirty-six-year-old Solomon Coleman was killed in Belmopan on May twenty-eighth and there has not been an arrest yet. Police were having difficulties establishing a motive for the killing, but the Commissioner of Police, Chester Williams says that he has since met with Coleman’s mother and also with a team of investigators and has given them instructions to press on with the investigations.

“I have also assembled a team of experienced investigators from Major Crimes, C.I.B., G.I-3 and Special Branch to look at all murders from January to present with a view to see how we can revive those investigations – go back and re-interview witnesses, go back, look at video footages to see if we’ll be able to  find something that we may have overlooked in the past. So that team, which is headed by Senior Superintendent Gerald Jones, is extremely busy looking at all those cases and that matter with Mr. Coleman came up yesterday, and I think that they have gotten some further information which should be able to lead to arrests, so hopefully very soon we should be seeing results coming from the team that we assembled and they are also looking at the gang membership investigation where the gang members are concerned. So again, the objective is for us to be able to see how we can not just have these people in prison, but to investigate the cases that they are accused of with a view to be able to successfully making arrests where those cases are concerned. So I’ll ask Mr. Coleman mother to just be a bit patience with us. We understand her pain and her need for wanting to see results from the police. And we’ll do our best to make sure that she gets justice for whatever took place with her son.”
