And from that suspected cocaine discovery, we move on to last week's discovery of a human skull in the Los Lagos Community.

As we told you, on Friday, some of the employees from Bacab were clearing an area close to the eco park that had just been burnt due to a bush fire. They came across the skull, and they called police to turn it over. 

ASP Alejandro Cowo- OC CIB, Belize District

"Police visited Bacab Park where one of the persons handed over a human skull. After that, they went to one area behind Los Lagos where people alleged to have found remains. However police checked everywhere but found no remains or any other bones there. At this moment, the human skull is at the forensic lab and the doctor will determine whether it is a male or a female and probably determine the age of the person. But that will be done until tomorrow. If there is a possibility to say what is the cause of death I believe he will do it. We have about two missing persons in that area. One that was reported about two or three years ago and you have the last one, which was Mr. Segura, who was missing from Sand Hill and was also seen in that immediate area. So, those are the two persons, probably, that they are looking for a this moment."

At today's press briefing, police said that it a post-mortem is pending, and they are hoping for some answers, which will inform them on what leads to pursue:

No other body parts were found in this area.
