We also asked the ComPol for an update on Wendy Mendez, the woman who died days after she went to the hospital with injuries to her body. Initial reports stated that she'd been attacked by her husband, and that may have led to her death. But today the ComPol clarified that there's no evidence suggesting that narrative as yet. Here's what he told us.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"We're still awaiting the postmortem examination to be conducted and once that is done then we'll be able to ascertain the definitive cause of death and then we go from there. I don't know if there's any evidence to the fact that her husband had beaten her. We're still investigating how she got the injuries that she exhibited when she got to the hospital."
Courtney Menzies:
"Is the husband cooperating with you all?"
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I believe that he has been interviewed by the police in Corozal but there was nothing of substance obtained during that interviewed."
Courtney Menzies:
"And there been any previous reports at this household for domestic violence?"
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Not to my knowledge, no."
