When police discovered the few remains of the body of Adaly Moralez in a natural spring well in the Riviera area of Belmopan they assumed that this man had no relatives in Belize - after all he had been dead for nearly three months and no missing person reports had been filed. It turns out however that this murder victim does have a family and now they are desperate to have the remains of their loved one exhumed and given a proper burial. Today, Moralez's sister told us that her brother did not deserve to die in the manner in which he did, even if he was suspected of being a criminal:
Magda Moralez, Sister of Adaly Moralez
There is no way I could get out the body. I went to the police, they tell me to leave the body there, you know, and I can't do that. My brother do not deserve that, he's a human being. He's not just another alien that got killed here by another alien. I want justice because the way how my brother died, nobody, not even an animal deserve to die. My brother died begging for his life, bleeding to death, begging this man to let him be, not to kill him because he hadn't done anything. I don't want no monetary help. All I want is to be able to retrieve the body so I could give him a proper burial. Even if he is a criminal, not even a dog deserves to die the way he died, you know, he's been rotting in that hole for the past almost three months now, you know, and he no deserve to be there, he no deserve to stay there. You know, I just want justice.
Moralez is seeking any and all recourses to have her brother exhumed from the well-spring and given a proper burial. As we've reported, Moralez was killed on April 14 by Derris Torres who confessed to the crime and showed police where he buried the body. Police did their best to find the body, deploying an excavator, but only came up with the fragments of a leg and the shovel used to bury him.
