Belize City is reeling from yet another tragic incident of violence against women. On the early morning of October 24, 2025, 35-year-old Delecia Flowers was brutally murdered during a home invasion on Complex Avenue. Her teenage daughter, who was also attacked, survived with head injuries and is currently in stable condition. This shocking event marks the tenth femicide in Belize this year and the third within a single week, following the recent arson attack that claimed the lives of Angelita Magaña and her two children. The nation is once again grappling with the urgent question: why does violence against women persist? Police responded to the scene at approximately 3:30 AM, where they found Flowers with severe head injuries and multiple cut wounds. Despite being rushed to the hospital, she succumbed to her injuries. Authorities are actively investigating the case, speaking to witnesses and exploring all possible motives. Neighbors reported tensions in the area hours before the attack, including a heated altercation involving Flowers’ children and other young men. Family members, including Berry Wade, have taken to social media to demand justice and call for stronger government action to protect women. Belize has seen a troubling surge in violence against women, with nearly 300 incidents reported between August and September 2025. As the investigation continues, the community is uniting to condemn these acts and advocate for an end to gender-based violence.
