Two men are dead under tragic and mysterious circumstances. The cops found their bodies this morning in an abandoned delivery truck on Farm Four Road in San Juan Village - which is just outside Indpendence. 

The truck is the property of a Belize City business owner. It left the City on Monday morning to do deliveries in Belmopan and San Juan Village but had yet to return. Â 

Police were still on the scene this morning but Sr. Superintendent Hilberto Romero told us that they are following several leads:

Hilberto Romero - Sr. Supt Deputy Head NCIB
"On Thursday the 23rd day of January 2020 around 7:20 am police responded to a report about a truck that was seen completely burnt not only with the metal frame up in the area of Farm 4 near San Juan village, Stann Creek Village district. Police found a flatbed truck with the interior completely burnt and charred human remains were found in the vehicle. Police are present at the scene and a post-mortem examination has been scheduled for today to determine what happened and who the charred remains are for."

Reporter
"Sir it was only one body that was in the vehicle?"

Hilberto Romero
"We don’t know at this time the post-mortem will determine that. We will be following up on several leads that have developed and that is all we have at this time."

Postmortem results have not been reported to us - and police have not disclosed any identities or the cause of death.

We’ll have more on this tomorrow.
