posted (March 18, 2019)

Orange Walk police have finally identified that man from that northern town who was found injured by chop wounds. 

As we reported, at around 9 p.m., residents of Guyana Street saw a man they know only as "Vato" walking with a shirt over his head. He suddenly collapsed, and so, they called for police.

Well, cops told us today, that the victim is actually a resident from Caledonia Village:

ACP Joseph Myvette - Head, NCIB
"Last time we spoke about John Doe not being identified. He has since been identified as Samuel Sanches, 33 of Caledonia Village address and police has since arrested and charge Jose Franco Rivera, 55 years Salvadorian national with the crime of dangerous harm."

Daniel Ortiz
"Do you all know the circumstances, what caused that individual to chop the victim?"

ACP Joseph Myvette - Head, NCIB
"At this point in time, we are still trying to communicate with the victim today as I believe he was just released from the hospital yesterday, so we are in the process of doing that today."
