Drunk Woman Butchers Ex-Girlfriend

A night of drinking turned into a bloodbath in Belize City, leaving a woman fighting for her life and her former partner in police custody. Just after midnight on Sunday, police rushed to a residence on Central American Boulevard following reports that a woman had been brutally stabbed and was being rushed to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. When officers arrived, they found thirty-six-year-old Samira Gentle lying unconscious on a bed, her body bearing multiple chops and stab wounds. ASP Stacy Smith says no charges have been brought so far because the perpetrator was unable to cooperate with police at the time.
