Police also had an update on the death of 52 year old Rudolph Kelly. The mile 8 resident was found crashed in his car with two major stab wounds to his hand. Police don't yet know what killed him:...
ASP Alejandro Cowo - OC, CIB Belize City
"What we know is that he had just left from Eight Miles and came back to Belize City, and we cannot ascertain how he got that injury. At the moment, the family members have been interviewed, but there is little that we can share in regard to that. All we know is that he was passing by a police checkpoint, the one by Central American Boulevard, where he informed the police that he had received an injury and he was in a hurry to reach the hospital. Just reaching at the roundabout, he lost control and crashed into the lamppost. There, the B.E.R.T. personnel rendered him assistance and he was taken to the hospital, where once he was receiving treatment he succumbed to his injuries."

"Now sir, was he in any domestic dispute or social dispute that led to his injuries - obviously someone had to stab him."
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"No, we have no indication that he had any dispute with his wife or any other persons, so it is something that we are still looking at as to how he received the injuries and where he received the injuries."
Reporter
"At this point is it being treated as a homicide or you all are waiting for the postmortem?"
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"No, we have it as a sudden death. We have to wait until the determination of the RTA, if it is the RTA that caused his death or the cut wounds that he had received."
Police will determine if it was a homicide after the post mortem examination.
