For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ Hours before the devastating fire in San Pedro, a man was stabbed to death inside his house on Caribeña Street on the island. The chopping victim is Carlos Valdes. He was found lifeless by off-duty police officer, Nestor Campus, around seven-thirty on Friday night. Campus lives in an adjacent room from where he detected Gilbert Chanek fleeing with a knife in hand. The cop and the uncle of the accused subdued him and Chanek is now facing murder charges. Valdes was well-acquainted with Chanek, who recently moved into the same house. Family members say he suffers from mental illness, but police say that when Chanek was detained, he was in sound mind. News Five’s Duane Moody reports.
