And, so, while Belize Rural police cannot say definitively if foul play is involved in that death - Corozal police are leaning clearly to homicide after the grisly discovery of a nude female body in a pond near Chan Chen village. The body appears to have a large chop wound to the back of the head and her right hand seems as if it was severed. But her identity is a mystery since no one has been reported missing in either Chan Chen or Pachakan which are the two nearest villages.
Due to the advanced state of decomposition, a post mortem will have to be done on-site tomorrow.
Chan Chen is the northern most village in Belize and the body was found about a mile from there.
