“Nobody Not Saying Nothing”: Family Claims No Updates in Delecia Flowers’ Murder

A month after the tragic murder of 35-year-old Delecia Flowers in her Belize City home, her family remains in anguish, grappling with the emotional and psychological toll of her untimely death. Flowers was fatally attacked during a home invasion in late October, which also left her teenage daughter hospitalized with severe head injuries. Her brother, Delroy Moody, expressed the family’s ongoing struggles in an interview with News Five, stating, ‘We are still going through a lot of little tribulations right now.’ Moody revealed that the family has received minimal updates from authorities regarding the investigation, leaving them in the dark. ‘Nobody is saying anything. My mom hasn’t even called or talked to me about it,’ he lamented. Flowers, one of ten siblings, is the second in the family to have passed away. As the 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence begins, Moody reflected on the broader societal issue, emphasizing the role of substance abuse in fueling violence. ‘Drugs and alcohol play a big role in it,’ he noted, sharing his personal commitment to non-violence in his own marriage. The family’s plea for justice underscores the urgent need for accountability and support in addressing violent crimes in Belize.
