“On Sunday, December 22nd, 2024, police responded to a disturbance at G Street in Corozal Town.  Upon their arrival, they found the lifeless body of a male person identified as Anthony Lewis, with injuries to the head.  Investigation revealed that Lewis came to that house and he had a dispute with the family members there.  There was a struggle which led to injuries being caused upon him.  This matter is being investigated and the file will be sent to the DPP for directives.”

“So as of now it’s just a death investigation.”

 

Hilberto Romero

“It is.  Anthony Lewis had no lawful authority to be at that house.  He was there and confronted the members there and so the injuries were caused to him. 

Reporter: Is it true that, because we received reports that he had some type of relationship with one of the men’s minor daughters.”

 

Hilberto Romero

“That is correct.  He was presently on bail, as he was charged and taken to court.  That matter is pending trial at the Supreme Court.  Is that a possible motive for why they attacked him.  He came to the house and they defended themselves and this is what happened.”

 

Reporter

“Was he acting aggressive?”

 

Hilberto Romero

“Yes, he attacked the family members at the house.”
