The inside story of the unsolved murders of a Canadian and an American in Belize
It has been one year since the bodies of Francesca Matus and her American lover were found tangled together in a sugar cane field in Belize.
The urn holding the Canadian woman’s ashes now sits in a niche at Toronto’s Highland Memory Gardens, across from the spot where her 80-year-old mother will be buried one day.
“So we can always look at each other,” said her mother, Mafalda Rino.
A local pathologist determined that the 52-year-old Matus, who lived part of the year in the Central American country, and Drew DeVoursney, 36, a former marine from Georgia, had died of strangulation.
