Slain Belize police chief's family pursues lawsuit, socialite suspect released on bail

The family of Belize’s murdered police superintendent intends to pursue a wrongful death suit against a socialite who has been charged in his death. 

Jemmott had a single gunshot wound behind his right ear, and an autopsy report determined the cause of death to be a "massive brain hemorrhage" due to a "gunshot wound to the head."  The medical examiner’s findings have prompted Jemmott’s family to file a wrongful death suit against Hartin, an American who is married to the son of businessman Lord Michael Ashcroft, ABC News reported.  The details surrounding Jemmott’s death remain murky at best, but a number of details provide a scandalous picture: Jemmott, a father of five, supposedly told a friend that he was going on a "secret date," and that he refused to name the woman he was meeting, according to the Evening Standard.
