Coast Guard Officer Investigated for Orange Walk Assault

A Coast Guard officer is under investigation tonight after allegedly pistol-whipping a man in Orange Walk. The weapon, a G***k 19, was not Coast Guard-issued. The alleged victim, a forty-three-year-old laborer, is demanding justice after the incident, which police say happened around three a.m. on Sunday on Progress Street. The officer, twenty-nine-year-old Eusabio Espinoza, reportedly fled the scene but was later detained. What makes this story even more striking? Just three weeks ago, Espinoza spoke with News Five about the death of his ninety-two-year-old father, accusing the Northern Regional Hospital of negligence. Today, we asked Coast Guard Commandant Rear Admiral Elton Bennett for his take on the situation.

Thorne, the beloved owner of Raw Spa Cabañas in Bullet Tree Falls, was brutally stabbed to death on November tenth, a crime that shook the quiet Cayo community. A week later, there’s a major development. On Monday, November seventeenth, investigators charged twenty-five-year-old Gian Eldred Waight, a construction worker from Cayo, with her murder. Waight was tracked down in Guatemala and handed over to Belizean authorities before being formally arrested. Thorne’s killing left residents stunned. Known for her warmth and generosity, she had called Belize home for decades. Now, as police move forward with the case, the community is hoping for justice in this heartbreaking tragedy.
