A 15 year old boy was killed in Hope Creek village in a hit and run accident sometime last night.
It happened in front of the Belize Citrus Growers Association where Marvin Morales's body was found in a drain early this morning - beside his mangled bicycle.
Police believe he was run over and left for dead from last night.
ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, National Crimes Investigation Branch
"In relation to the third incident, this morning sometime around 5am Dangriga police were called to an area between nine and ten on the Stann Creek Valley Road where they observed the body of a Hispanic male later identified as Marvin Morales, 15 years, with apparent head and body injuries and next to him was a blue in colour beach cruiser bicycle. What we know so far is that sometime after 8p.m. last night, the deceased left his aunt's home in Pomona Village en route to Hope Creek where he lives and somewhere along the road, he may have stopped on the left hand side of the road when heading south and that is apparently where the accident occurred. What was retrieved from the scene so far is just some debris from a broken light and we are still trying to determine what time of vehicle it was."
Police are asking the public's help in finding this hit and run driver. So far, they only have a few pieces of the vehicle headlight.
