Murder and mayhem

BELIZE CITY, Tues. May 5, 2009 Even as Government officials and the wider community were this weekend on high alert, trying to dodge the possibly fatal swine flu virus, some Belize City residents were dodging the smoking guns that have killed two young men and left three others injured in separate incidents that all happened on Belize City’s Southside. The stories appear separately in this mid-week edition of Amandala, starting below with the cold-blooded murder on Sunday morning of Glenford Audinett, continuing with the Thursday night murder of Ryan Walker, and then concluding with the brazen shoot-out and attempted robbery at Western Union in Belize City. As the police were in high spirits changing top command on Thursday and Monday, violent crime continued to dampen the spirits of City residents who, as Audinett’s mother puts it, want an end to these senseless acts of violence. At press time tonight, police have made no arrests for these three major crimes, though the new top brass rose to their ranks with resolute promises that they would tackle this crime problem that continues to be a bigger plague that the dreaded swine flu.
