PUP Statement on Mark Flowers

Belize City, BELIZE. Thursday, July 21, 2016. The Opposition People’s United Party (PUP) today issued a public statement in which it condemned “the continuing abuse and exploitation perpetrated on defenseless individuals by high officials who are sworn to serve and protect the public.”

The PUP names the head of the Gang Suppression Unit Superintendent Mark Flowers as one of the “high officials” they are concerned about, after allegations of the sexual abuse of a minor was made against the veteran police officer.

“We are outraged at this latest complaint against Mr. Flowers,” the PUP release said, as the Opposition called on the relevant authorities “to investigate this matter fully and fearlessly, with no special treatment to Mr. Flowers because of his position.”

While no official charge has been laid against the senior police officer, the PUP in its statement goes on to suggest that they have been “reliably informed” of who is the victim of the alleged sexual abuse.

The party is of the opinion that “if the police has been presented with a credible report and Mr. Flowers has not been charged, then he is receiving special treatment and protection which we deplore in the strongest terms.”

The PUP statement ends by calling on the National Committee for Families and Children and the Special Envoy for Women and Children and other child protection agencies “to raise their voices against the abuse of children.”

    It seems that the investigation of the Mason’s case is being intentionally redirected to an endless alley and allowed to be commandeered by public opinion /official opinions that lack intellectual analysis. The CRITICAL ANGLE BEING OVERLOOKED IS :
    Irrespective of allegations of Pastors Lucas’ existing relationship with Mason – business associate, messenger, etc, Mason and his accomplices decapitated the Pastor, destroyed the body but kept the head to SHOW TO THE PERSON WHO ORDERED THE ELIMINATION, as evidence of mission accomplished.
    WHO ORDERED THE TASK? WHO WAS THE HEAD TO BE SHOWN TO AS EVIDENCE OF THE ASSIGNED MISSION ACCOMPLISHED??
    Mason did not just have his team together to kill an erring business accomplice. It was important to show the head to the person or team that ordered the hit.
    There was no reason to keep the head . The head could have been buried anywhere in the vast farmland he owns.
    If this angle is not researched, the case conclusion will never get to the bottom of the societal illness. Mason and his team will serve time and that will be the end. THE EARTHQUAKE WILL BE PREVENTED.
