The common-law husband of an American national has been charged for her murder. Fifty-year-old Wendy Dardano, a nurse attached to the Hopkins Satellite Clinic was murdered over the weekend; stabbed to the chest and her body dumped in a garbage bin. Even before the discovery, her common-law husband Leroy Alexander Lorenzo was detained since it is believed that she was killed inside the lower flat to a concrete building they rented in the village. On Monday, police formally arrested and charged the twenty-eight-year-old Corozal resident with the crime of murder. It is not known what led to her violent end, but Dardano had complained to a co-worker about the alleged abuse she was experiencing at the hands of Lorenzo. On Monday, police said that after receiving a call that Dardano could not be found, they went searching and came up on the gruesome find.
