Corozal Man Killed During Dispute; Victim Was Out on Bail for Sexual Offense

A man was killed over the weekend after going to a residence where he was not welcomed.  The incident occurred yesterday on G Street in Corozal Town where an altercation occurred eventually leading to the death of one Anthony Lewis.  Love News understands that Lewis was out on bail for a charge of carnal knowledge which he committed against a minor who resides at the said address. Assistant Commissioner of Police Hilberto Romero was extremely vague during today’s briefing.

ACP Hilberto Romero, Regional Commander, Eastern Division: “Investigation revealed that Lewis came to that house and he had a dispute with the family members there and there was a struggle which led to injuries being caused upon him. This matter is being investigated and the file will be sent to the DPP for directives. Lewis had no lawful authority to be at that house. He was there and confronted the members there and so  the injuries were caused to him. He is presently on bail as he was charged and taken to court. That matter is pending trial at the Supreme Court.”

Our newsroom understands that Lewis sustained injuries to the head believed to have been a contributing factor to his death.
