And in another incident from South Stann Creek, police say that the man accused of chopping three men in San Roman village earlier this week - had been linked to a string of burglaries. Here's what ACP Myvette told the press about it today:
ACP Joseph Myvette, Head NCIB
"Tzub and Melgar were at home when they were approached by one Hermenio Ical, who was armed with a machete and he inflicted injuries to them. Ical then left the area where he visited the home of Benjamin Hul and also inflicted a chop wound to his left palm. So far, Hul is in a stable condition, whilst Mr. Tzub remains in a critical condition at the KHMH. Ical is in custody at this point in time pending charges. So far, he has been charged with the crime of burglary as he was involved in several other incidents prior to going to the home of Tzub. What I can say though is that, Ical when he was brought into custody did have some injuries as well, some chop wounds for which is he is not cooperating with the police."
Jules Vasquez
"Might they have been taking out a sort of justice on him or sometime you catch man the thief and you deal with them."
ACP Joseph Myvette
"Well we're still trying to determine whether or not that was the case."
