By Aaron Humes: Twenty-three-year-old Jessica Itch died from chest injuries caused by her fatal beating on the weekend in Armenia Village, Cayo District.

A post-mortem examination verified cause of death as acute pulmonary edema, meaning a sudden increase of fluid in the lungs that made it difficult for her to breathe, and acute hepatitis or inflammation of the liver.

Jessica was beaten up, allegedly by her common-law husband and several women. She then reported the matter to police and went to her mother’s house in Belmopan, but her condition deteriorated and she died there early Sunday morning. Police have detained several people in connection with the incident.
