Police Officer Arrested in Brutal Hattieville Double Murder

In a startling development in a high-profile murder investigation, a 25-year-old Belizean police officer, Orvin Williams, has been arrested and charged with the brutal killings of fraternal twins Paul Esquilliano and Paula Belisle. The siblings were discovered shot dead inside Paula’s residence on Ysaguirre Boulevard in Hattieville on September 15, 2025. After weeks of uncertainty, the Belize Police Department announced on October 11 that Williams, a constable from Mahogany Heights, had been taken into custody and faces two counts of murder. The case has taken a deeply personal turn, as investigators revealed that Williams had previously been in a relationship with Paula’s daughter, who passed away some time ago. Reports also suggest that Williams had allegedly been stealing money from Paula’s credit union account, raising questions about financial motives. Assistant Superintendent Stacy Smith, a spokesperson for the police, emphasized that while an arrest has been made, the investigation remains ongoing, and further details will be disclosed in court. The tragic incident has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting the complexities of the case and the emotional toll it has taken on all involved.
