Tonight the family friends of two missing cousins are fearing the very worst after the men have not turned up. Marvin Cante and John Raymundo were last seen on Wednesday, and on Thursday morning, the vehicle they were in was found abandoned, engine running, with bloodstains inside. Today ACP Hilberto Romero told us the police are still searching for them but have not found any more leads.
ACP Hilberto Romero, OCED
"We are presently conducting several searches in the area of mile 24, the area of Democracia through the Coastal, the area of Mahogany Heights but so far no leads and no information as to their whereabouts."
Courtney Menzies:
"The vehicle was a rented vehicle?"
ACP Hilberto Romero, OCED
"It was not a rented vehicle, they had gotten the vehicle from somebody here in Belmopan and the vehicle was found in the area of mile 24 with the engine running."
Courtney Menzies:
"Have you spoken to that person here in Belmopan?"
ACP Hilberto Romero, OCED
"Yes, several statements have been recorded, searches continue, but so far nothing."
Courtney Menzies:
"Did the family give any reason why these men might have been targeted?"
ACP Hilberto Romero, OCED
"They do not know, all they know is that they left in that vehicle and they have not been seen since."
Courtney Menzies:
"Where were they heading in the vehicle?"
ACP Hilberto Romero, OCED
"We do not know, all we know is that the vehicle was found in the area of mile 24."
