Friday, 04 September 2015. BMG: The families of 20 year old Donovan Usher; 29 year old Giovanni Murillo, and 33 year old Jerome Bowen have yet to return from a visit to Turneffe Island last Thursday for fishing.

Family members  told 7 News that at least two of the men have claimed that after winning a court case over alleged shooting at Coast Guard officers, they have been repeatedly threatened with their lives.

Officers are allegedly to have beaten up the group at their camp as well.

The girlfriend and mother of Murillo’s two children, one yet to be born, Dannica Usher, says she wants closure to the case even though she cannot raise the baby without him.

The Coast Guard has reserved comment “until there is something concrete and formal to respond to.
