Still No ID For John Doe Found In Cemetery
posted (October 28, 2019)
The John Doe who was found murdered in the Orange Walk Cemetery yesterday has yet to be identified. And, tonight, police are still asking for your help. Last week they circulated photos of the man's tattoos in the hopes that someone would identify him. According to Police databases he doesn't match any missing person reports from anywhere in the country.

He was found Thursday afternoon in a mausoleum stuffed between two tombs. A cement cross from a nearby grave had been used to bludgeon him in the head and face. Today the only new detail police could share was his apparent time of death.

ACP Joseph Myvette, Commander NCIB
"What the Police know so far from the information gathered is that someone entered the cemetery where upon them entering the cemetery they observed the body of this male person between the graves which was only dressed in long pants, a blue jeans long pants. He was not wearing a shirt. There are several tattoos to the body which at this point in time still remains unidentified. The entire area was canvassed and Orange Walk, per say, doesn't have any missing person fitting that description."

"The deceased seemed to be in his mid-20's or less and his approximate time of death could have been pretty early in the morning."

Again, anyone recognizing the tattoos is asked to please call the police.
