posted (February 16, 2010)

Police say they have new leads are searching for a suspect for Monday’s early morning murder of the Nigerian security guard at the Biltmore Plaza Hotel. Kaluru was stabbed to death with a kitchen knife just outside the security booth on the Northern Highway.

A security guard in the area told us that he heard Kaluru Oloungududu’s screams for help at around 2:30. Police say robbery doesn’t appear to have been the motive for the particularly brutal murder since after he was killed, the killers quickly scaled a fence at the rear of the hotel and fled. But today investigators told us today they aren’t ruling anything out.

A post mortem was conducted this evening on Kaluru Oloungududu and he will buried in accordance with Muslim tradition. Oloungududu moved to Belize 7 months ago and was working as both a taxi-man and as a security guard at the Biltmore Hotel.
