Earlier this week we told you about the chopping that happened on Saturday, December 29th in Bullett Tree, Cayo.  Three men, Genaro Martinez, Patricio Kuylen and Silvestre Cordova received chop wounds to various parts of their bodies.  It happened at a bar where the men had gone to buy beer. Coming downstairs they met two brothers they had known since childhood. But, an argument started and then they were chopped up.  

Today, police said they have arrested a BDF soldier for the crime:

Hilberto Romero - Sr. Supt Deputy Head, NCIB
"Police have since arrested and charged Ryan Hobb 28 years Belizean BDF soldier for the crimes of grievous harm and wounding upon Genario Martinez, Patricia Kuylen, and Silvestri Cordova. There was some conflict that these people had and this resulted in this chopping incident."

Hob was detained shortly after the chopping.
