Police Suspect Double Murder in Disappearance of Belmopan Cousins

The Belize Police Department is actively investigating a case that appears to be a double murder involving cousins Juan Raymundo, 32, and Marvin Cante, 37, who were last seen alive in late November in Belmopan. Concern grew after Raymundo failed to respond to messages from his common-law wife, prompting family members to report both men missing the following day. Their vehicle was discovered abandoned near Mile 24 on the George Price Highway with its engine still running.

Desperate for answers, family members launched search efforts, combing the area but finding no sign of the missing men. The investigation took a grim turn on Wednesday evening when Hattieville police uncovered two shallow graves along Dollar Bank Road.

While authorities have not yet confirmed the identities of the bodies, the families of Raymundo and Cante are anxiously awaiting updates.

The reason behind the cousins’ disappearance remains a mystery. Family members insist that neither man had conflicts with anyone that would suggest foul play. Alonzo remains adamant that Raymundo would never voluntarily leave his family behind, especially his children.
