The mysterious case of missing couple found dead in Belize

[@thebelizeaneh]

If people would learn to try and get along with people AND stop showing off how successful you are or acting like all high and mighty they would not be in danger. Show some respect, just because you are successful doesn't mean you are more important then a homeless person

[@__MjG__]

@@thebelizeaneh While what you said is good advice, but do think all these victims went there & acted in the manner you spoke of & deserved to die? I seriously doubt the tourists were killed because of how they acted, it was only because they were tourists period.

3% of murders solved in Belize and 60% of murders solved in the USA. Incredibly in 2015 109% of murders were solved in my country Scotland. The reason being that the murder rate was just 51murders for the entire nation, all solved and the police had enough time to focus on cold cases and solve several of them meaning we had more solved murders in 2015 than actual murders.

Sounds like a series killer. Three people strangled to death. That is a very personal way of killing someone...unnecessary unless you have no other weapon which is unlikely or if the killer wants to savor and enjoy the moment. I would say it was a crime of passion and someone who knows the couple because of the strangelation however, the fact that another woman who is unrelated to the couple was murdered the same way points to a serial killer. Especially since there isn't any obvious motive for the three murders.

Kinda strange to use a case where a Canadian national killed fellow North American residents to make some broader point about how violent Belize is. And not to trivialize the violence problem in Central America, which is incredibly serious, but the tone of this whole report seems misguidedly superior. Like, lots of this gawking at how dangerous the country is could also be done from a Western European/Anglosphere/Japanese/Korean/etc. standpoint at the U.S., which is extremely violent by developed nation standards (including very multiethnic ones like France & Canada, so don't bother replying, nazis).

[@zorroalphonso4354]
