Triminio is reported to have returned to the house, forced his way inside and used a knife which he got from the kitchen to stab Mesh multiple times.

“Mr. Triminio then proceeded to wash the knife in the same home, leaving it behind and fleeing the scene,” said Assistant Superintendent of Police, Fitzroy Yearwood, the Communications Director of the  Belize Police Department.

He said the Commissioner of Police has ordered an internal investigation as to why there was no officer on duty at that station at the time and “he believes that if that officer was at his post, we could have prevented this unfortunate incident that led to the taking of the life of Namid Mesh”
