ACP Joseph Myvette - Head of NCIB
"Sometime around 9 pm Dangriga police responded to reports of a body on the side of the Highway in Alta Vista Village where upon arrival they observed the body of a Hispanic male later identified as David Cunil, 45 years old of Alta Vista Village, with severe head and body injuries and apparently dead. The scene was processed and the body was taken to the Southern Regional Hospital where it now awaits a post-mortem examination. Police investigations into this matter have led to the detention of one person who is being interviewed from whom useful information was had. So, this is an ongoing investigation which we believe may lead to an arrest shortly. It is our understanding that he left from work in Alta Vista Village sometime after five and was socializing with friends before he decided to go to his house."

Police hope to make an arrest soon.
