The Commissioner also does not intend to activate a state of emergency in Dangriga which saw two murders in three days.
The first murder was a stabbing that emerged from a petty street dispute - and, in the other, the victim was allegedly murdered by a friend.
The killings don't follow a pattern - but over the past year and a half there has been a steady escalation of violence in the town - and we asked the COMPOL how much of it is drug related:

"Sir, is the violence in Dangriga fueled by the fact that It's a coastal town, and we know that whenever you are near a coast in Southern Belize, often times, 'thing the float' and we know that creates all types of tensions in the community.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Well, certainly, yes we have heard of wet drops in the south, this was about two weeks ago, I can tell you that the police did find two packets of cocaine along the coast of the Stann Creek district, one was in Seine Bite and the other near Hopkins. So, we know that there is a wet drop. But at this time, we have nothing to indicate that these persons that were involved in the latest incidents in Dangriga are connected to any wet drop, but there could be a possibility. We still can't understand how friends become enemies so quickly to the extent that one is taking the life of another, so it's something that were looking at."
