Tesecum Murder Solved, Motive Still Perplexes

It's one of the most brutal and perplexing murders we've reported in the past few months and tonight the mystery of who killed 17-year-old Samuel Tesecum is solved, but the motive still perplexes. On Wednesday August 30th, 12-year-old Bartimeo and 17-year-old Samuel Tesecum were sleeping in a cabin in the Barton Creek area of Mountain Pine Ridge when they were attacked by a pair of machete wielding men. 12 year old Bartimeo managed to run off and hide, but Samuel was hacked to death. Tonight, four weeks later, police have arrested and charged 24 year old Emilio Moralez of Upper Barton Creek for the crime of murder and attempted murder, grievous harm, use of deadly means of harm and maim. The 12 year old positively identified him, but Cayo police still cannot say what the motive was.
