Earlier in the news, we told you about the robbery-turned-murder in San Pedro and the stabbing involving a man from Esperanza Village who allegedly attacked his common-law wife and two children.
All that happened on the Settlement Day holiday - when two men also lost their lives in separate traffic accidents. We start with the traffic fatality at the roundabout near San Estevan Village in the Orange Walk District.
That's where first responders found twenty-three-year-old Paul Vasquez after he lost control of his motorcycle and suffered major head and body injuries.
Here are a few details from Senior Superintendent Hilberto Romero, the officer commanding Eastern Division:
