By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): A quiet Saturday evening in a hammock ended with a death threat at the window for a San Roman Village man, and the person he says delivered it, a man he has known for twenty-five years and considers family, has been formally charged.

According to the Belize Police Department, a 45-year-old construction worker of the Stann Creek District village reported that on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at approximately 8:05 p.m., he was at his residence relaxing in his hammock when he heard a knock at his front door and a male voice calling him out with a vulgar taunt.

When he got up and looked through his window, he observed a man he has known for approximately twenty-five years, pointing a sharp-pointed object about two feet in length at him. According to the report, the man then uttered the words, “Bwai I wa kill you,” causing the complainant to fear for his life. He requested court action.

Police moved quickly. On Sunday, July 26, an officer swore an information and complaint, obtained a warrant in the first instance, and formally arrested and charged 25-year-old Anthony Sabal, a construction worker of San Roman Village, with the crime of threat of death. Cautioned after the charge, he chose to remain silent.
