BELMOPAN, Thurs. Nov. 1, 2018– At about 11:30 this morning, Celso Carcamo Jr., 23, of Mamey Apple Street in Belmopan, was found hanging by the neck, outside his home, a concrete house on posts that elevate it four feet off the ground.

Carcamo was found by a family member, who called police. Carcamo was suspended by a piece of cloth that had been wrapped around his neck and that was tied to a steel rod that protruded from the beam of the house.

His right hand was tied in front of him, against his chest, with another piece of cloth. This piece of cloth crossed his chest and left shoulder and back, and was tied to his left hand at the wrist.

There were bruises on the side of his face and forehead, and blood was seen on the wall near his face. There were also small cut wounds on his right fist, and bruises and swelling on his forehead and neck.

 Blood was also seen in his room.

Carcamo’s body was taken down by police and transported to the Western Regional Hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival at 11:53 a.m.

Reports are that earlier that day, at around 9 a.m., Carcamo had gone to police to make a report that he was being disturbed by his neighbors, who, he said, were too noisy and caused him to lose sleep at night.

This afternoon police did not say much about the case, except that an investigation into the young man’s brutal death has begun.
