A 25 year old man was beaten and killed early on Saturday morning in the Dump area outside Punta Gorda. At 2:00 AM, Macario Ical's body was found mutilated and in a pool of blood for all to see, under a bus shed. This morning police told us that they re seeking three suspects:

ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, National Crimes Investigation Branch
"Saturday last sometime around one a.m., Punta Gorda police responded to an information of an apparent burglary in the area of the PG San Antonio Road known as Dump area where under a bus shed, police observed the body of a male person, later identified as Macario Ical, 25 years of a Jalacte Village address in the Toledo District, with severe injuries and apparently dead. The scene was processed and the body was removed to the Punta Gorda Hospital where it awaits a post-mortem. At this point in time, police are seeking three suspects who we believe can assist in this investigation."

"Now that the body has been identified, is there any motive for this murder?"
