And while the partial shutdown today forced the wider community to mourn along with the Chinese community, police have worked swiftly to wrap up the investigation into Ligi San's murder. Over the weekend police arrested 27 year old Edmund Crawford Sanka from Carolina Village and 25 year old William Wade from Calcutta Village with murder.
Police say a cross border collaboration between Belize and Mexico police led to the arrest. Forensic evidence taken from the scene were sent to a crime lab in Mexico for testing.
San was in his store when around closing time, the assailants stormed in shot him dead and then raided the store of cash and products, including a box of bagged chips. Both Wade and Sanka were arraigned before a Corozal magistrate today and are tonight in prison.
