BELMOPAN, Wed. July 30, 2025

A woman lost her life in the early hours of Wednesday, July 30, when the motorcycle on which she had been traveling crashed into a drain on the South Ring Road in Belmopan.

Around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Takudzwa Jeremiah Kaseke, 33, a naturalized Belizean of Blue Creek Street, Belmopan, was heading home on a motorcycle after a football March, with Marilyn Ambrosia Bridget Roches, 34, of Uruguay Street, as a passenger, when he reportedly lost control of the motorcycle.

This caused Roches to be flung into a nearby drain in front of Belmopan Comprehensive School, and as a result she suffered a large cut to the center of her forehead, in addition to other body wounds, and was bleeding from her nose. She died instantly at the scene.

When the incident occurred, Roches was not wearing a helmet.

“I’m about to report off duty. So, I was still uninformed and about to leave the compound when I got the call. I, being a person that don’t like calls, almost ignored it. I answered, and they asked me my name and clarified to me, and told me the news,” said Gwendolyn Roches, sister of the deceased.

“She da mi all about her kids. She mi like pawty, and da mi one ah our biggest problem, because she neva waahn give up wahn pawty. She mi wahn bout fu be a granny. Her daughter pregnant, and ih mi wahn be her first grandchild. She da mi wahn selfless person. She mi wahn give ih last fu everybody and anybody weh know ahn. She da mi di craziest one outta di 16 ah we,” Gwendolyn further said.

Kaseke has been served a Notice of Intended Prosecution, as police continue to investigate the incident.
