Police Say Slain Murder Suspect Also Killed Rosalito Pacheco

Was slain murder suspect Cruz Castillo, who was shot and killed by police in Cotton Tree Village several weeks ago, the same individual believed to have taken the life of missing Corozal cab driver Rosalito Pacheco?  Pacheco’s remains were discovered over the weekend after being reported missing by family and friends on February first.  His vehicle was later discovered in Fresh Pond at the end of February and a family of three was arrested and jointly charged with handling stolen property.  According to Commissioner of Police Chester Williams, Cruz was the prime suspect in the murder of Shane Baizar and Rosalito Pacheco.

“And so, since Mr. Castillo is dead that case, that’s the justice that the family receives, but what happened to the persons found with the cab?  Do you investigate further how they came into possession of the cab?”

 

Chester Williams

“Yes, that was part of our investigation.  We have also gathered that information and that matter was before the court.”
