Who Killed Linbert Flowers?

A man was murdered in Belize City in the wee hours of today and police say it has all the bearing of a domestic situation gone terribly bad. It happened on Caesar Ridge Road, and the victim is fifty-nine-year-old Linbert Flowers. The deceased apparently went to a residence in the area and reportedly tried to enter the premises but was prevented. Shortly after, a badly wounded Flowers was seen with a stab wound in his chest. News Five’s Marion Ali has the story.

Fifty-nine-year-old Linbert Flowers was fatally stabbed early this morning. The incident happened when Flowers went to this residence sometime after three o’clock to visit a woman. But he was denied entry into the house, and a dispute erupted. At the end of it, Flowers had suffered a fatal stab.

“We don’t have all the facts, but we suspect it has to do something with a domestic dispute.”

“So it is a chance that it was self-defense?”

“Yes, that’s a probability. Persons have been detained for questioning.”

After Flowers was stabbed, he made his way up the street to this yard, where he collapsed on this refrigerator, asking for help. But before long, he passed away. Today, no one wanted to talk about Flowers. His family only told us that he was a hard-working man who has been with the Customs Department for the past twelve years. Marion Ali for News Five.
