posted (June 24, 2019)
At the top of the news, we told you about the 7 men killed in 2 separate incidents, 5 at Mapp Caye, and 2 at the north end of Ambergris Caye.

Well, our next story is about the stabbing death of a woman, allegedly committed by another woman.

It happened last night in Bullet Tree Falls - and it springs from a domestic dispute between two women.

48 year old Yolanda Requena got into a fight with another woman who stabbed her fatally to the chest. That woman is at large tonight.

Police told us what's behind the vicious attack:..

ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, National Crimes Investigation Branch
"Yesterday sometime shortly after 8pm, San Ignacio police were called to the New Area in Bullet Tree Falls Village where upon arrival they observed the motionless body of a female later identified as Yolanda Requena, 47 years-old janitor of a Bullet Tree Falls address. She appears to have had one single stab wound to the left chest. She was then transported to the San Ignacio Community Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival. What the police gathered so far is that the deceased was communicating with a male person inside a yard, when she was approached by another female person who inflicted the said injuries on her. So far police is seeking this other person pending the investigation."
