Police Officer Questioned for Desecration of Grave

Earlier this month, Belizeans Michael Whitaker and Aaron Tun were found murdered in Chetumal. After being laid to rest, their graves were shockingly desecrated the next day, with Whitaker’s head removed from his body. A police investigation led to the detention of a police officer. Today, Police Commissioner Williams stated that the officer was taken in for questioning and that they are looking into several others who might have been involved.

“That that police officer was brought in. he was detained for forty-eight hours during which he was interviewed by the police intensely. We have received certain information from him. I’m not going to go into details, but there are other follow-ups that we’re doing and there’s a need for us to bring in additional people to be interviewed. We’re looking at the officer in question and many other people as possible persons of interest in respect of that issue and other issues. I don’t want to go too much into details and just await for investigation to be carried true.”
