posted (October 4, 2018)

Turning now to the west - another US national was targeted in a home invasion - and he is critical tonight. It happened in Santa Elena over the weekend.  William Scott Field was at home alone - when he was attacked, and his home was ransacked:..

ACP Joseph Myvette - Head of NCIB
"San Ignacio police was called to the residence of one William Scott Field, 64 years American national of Santa Cruz area Santa Elena Town, where upon arrival it was reported to them by one of his workers that he went to his workplace at Cristo Fields residence where he was calling for him and as a result of him not answering the worker then used his key to enter the building, that is when Mr. Field was found inside his home on the floor in a semi-unconscious state with facial injuries. As a result police arrived on the scene where he was then transported to the San Ignacio Community Hospital and he's now at the KHMH in a critical condition. Police observed that the home was indeed ransacked but there was no forced entry. The officers have also been told that Mr. Field has frequent visitors to his home, so some of those persons who are known to be visitors are being spoken to at this time by the police."

Police have no leads at this time. We'll keep following the story.
