For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ Investigations continue into the murder of Jermain Sanker. The twenty-three-year-old, who is originally from Corozal, was executed inside a rented car on Cemetery Road in the Salvapan area of Belmopan on Monday afternoon. Several persons were taken into custody today, but during the weekly police press brief this morning, ACP Joseph Myvett confirmed that Sanker was one of five persons involved in a drug bust earlier this year. Back in April, Sanker, David Morrison, Diana Sutherland and Anthony Somerville were severely injured when a pickup truck they were travelling in overturned near mile seventeen on the Philip Goldson Highway. The driver was trying to get away from the police who set chase after them. While Somerville died in the accident, Sanker suffered two broken legs and a broken hand. Back then, police believed that the group was part of a smuggling operation from the north because they were found with twenty-two parcels of compressed marijuana. While a motive has not been established for Sanker’s killing, police are looking at all angles.
