Police Confident in Case Against Suspect in Dangriga Murder

The callous murder of Manuel Fernandez, whose dismembered body was found inside a barrel in Dangriga on Sunday this week, has raised the ire and concern among Dangriga residents. Today Commissioner of Police, Chester Williams, told the media that the homicide was the result of business that went wrong between the deceased and the accused, Loren Vanegas, and that he believes the police have a strong case against Vanegas.
