Belize police probe murder of whistleblower - Jamaica Observer

BELMOPAN, Belize, (CMC)- Belize’s police chief says cops are “looking at every possibility” including a hitman being hired to murder 30 year-old Giovanni Ramirez, the whistleblower in the high-profile case that led to the conviction and imprisonment of attorney Oscar Selgado.

Police said that Ramirez was gunned down late Thursday in his vehicle. They found the driver’s window riddled with bullet holes and the driver dead inside. Shell casings were scattered across the street. The incident occurred close to two schools and a construction site.
