He said the weapon used was Jemmott’s service gun, which was recovered at the scene. He was not on duty; officials said he had asked for time off to deal with some personal issues. Marie Jemmott Tzul, the victim’s sister, told Belize’s Channel 7 News that she did not believe it could be suicide.
“I would say my brother would never kill himself. My brother had a passion for life, he looks forward to his children, his five children and his fiancee and me and the other family members,” she said. The chief said he was treating the investigation like any other case despite the immense wealth, political connections, and high profile of the Ashcrofts.
“Someone is responsible for his death. We owe it to him to ensure that we investigate properly and bring that person or those persons to justice,” Williams said of the victim. I can emphatically state that I have not received any calls from anybody above me directing that we deal with the matter in one way or the other.”
