Now this murder happened when a state of emergency was in effect. That was activated two weeks ago after a spike in gang related murders.
This is the second Belize City murder since the SOE was declared. We asked the COMPOL if the SOE is as effective as they had hoped
Reporter:
"It's yet another murder in Belize City. While, we know that, you know, you guys are making efforts to stem the crime and violence. But it's another life lost in the city.?
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"You expect the state of emergency is going to stop all murders from happening? Jamaica is under state of emergency for the past three years and check how much murders they've had since then. It is not a cure for all murders. There are still going to be incidents. But certainly it do help in terms of mitigating the amount of murders that we have."
