"It happened on Saturday night just after 7:15pm. Police visited Scotland Halfmoon Village where in the bushes they observed a` motorcycle that was extensively damaged and not far from the motorcycle police also observed the motionless body of Vladimir Antonio Aguilar, 28 years old resident of that same village. Initial information is that the driver of a vehicle Mr. Brian August, a Belizean of a Belmopan address was driving from Scotland Halfmoon towards Burrell Boom junction and he just overtook a vehicle and whilst overtaking, he heard a loud noise and then he realized that somebody was under the vehicle. As a result of that a NIP was served to him and a blood sample was also provided by him. The matter is still being investigated by Ladyville police."

"One witness had told us that they did not see headlights on the motorcycle and that may have caused the driver not to have seen the person coming towards hos direction. Did investigators observed anything similar to that?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"It is something hard for the police to know at this moment because of the extensive damages on the cycle especially on the front part. We cannot establish if it had any light at the moment. Police is still looking into that, interviewing persons in the area to see what kind of information they cabn get from them."
