BELMOPAN, Belize, CMC – A 48-year-old man and his teenage son, who were abducted last week, have been found alive in Mexico, in what officials believe may have been a case of mistaken identity.
Belize’s Ambassador to Mexico, Oscar Arnold, confirmed that Luis Camara and his 19-year-old son, Johan, had been found alive and “it seems to have been a mistaken identity.
The diplomat said that it seemed that during the course of trying to ascertain whether they were the right individuals the abductors “were looking for evidence to either corroborate or to find out exactly who they were so far, it seems to be a mistaken identity case”.
Mexican authorities have said that the two kidnapped victims have received a medical checkup to confirm that they were in good health.
While the details of their abduction are still unclear, Mexican police are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding their kidnapping and eventual release.
“This type of information is not available to me as yet. It seems that they were left somewhere to be found. The exact location, I am not privy to that information as yet. Here at the embassy, we are relieved that they were found alive,” he added.
The abduction had raised concern among Belizeans who travel to Mexico for various reasons, including shopping.
