Police Charge Suspect in Cayo Murder Case

Police have cracked the case in the shocking murder of Canadian businesswoman Marty Ann Thorne. 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.
