Third Suspect Arrested in Double Murder Case

A third suspect has been arrested in connection with the murders of Marvin Cante and Juan Carlos Raymundo. The suspect, 20-year-old Ronald Frazer from the Cayo District, faces two counts of murder. The other two men arrested in relation to the cousin’s murder were Carl Lindo and Christopher Smith.

The two cousins, Cante, 37, and Raymundo, 32, were reported missing in late November. Raymundo’s family grew worried when he stopped responding to messages from his common-law wife. The following day, both families alerted the police, prompting an investigation into their disappearance.

Reports were that Raymundo’s vehicle was found abandoned near mile 24 on the George Price Highway. The search for missing cousins ended when their bodies were found buried in a shallow grave in Hattieville on Wednesday evening, December 11, near Dollar Bank Road.

According to police investigation, the murder of Cante and Raymundo may have been an illicit transaction that went wrong. During Monday’s police briefing, the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Hilberto Romero, said, “The information we have is that they came to the Hattieville area to do a transaction, and something went wrong there, and they were taken to those bushes and killed.”
