But of course apart from the liquor, there is his mental state. Today DCP Chester Williams updated us on the results August's psychiatric evaluation. Williams said based on those results August was supposed to be moved to the Palm Center in Belmopan but there wasn't any space for him so the police held him at the KHMH. Here's more from Williams.
DC Chester Williams - Commander, Operations
"Yes I know from what I have been briefed, the psychiatrist has concluded, preliminary, that he is suffering from some psychiatric problem and he was to be admitted to the place in Belmopan. However, there was not space there for him so he was kept at the K.H.M.H. until space could be obtained or he overcomes the difficulty that he was going through, hence the reason why he was still at the K.H.M.H. The directive to the investigators is to ensure that the matter is fully investigated; we'll put the file together, try to obtain his blood/alcohol urine content and the psychiatric report and we will be forwarding the file to the Director of Public Prosecution for her to make a determination as to how we proceed, if the charges are going to be murder or manslaughter."
As we have reported, it is believed that the custody battle over his 3 sons may have led August to a breaking point, triggering this psychiatric episode.
