There was mayhem in Cristo Rey village, Corozal on Sunday night and it left 6 people with chop wounds.  According to police a group of youths was on the bleacher at the park in Cristo Rey, Corozal and were reported to be making noise around 9:30 pm. 

A man, who lives nearby, identified as Guadencio Che is reported to have approached the youths asking them to stop making noise, and then he left. 

Police investigations show that the group of young people followed Che to his house across from the football field and started hurling stones at the house. 

Police say that the Che family then reportedly came out armed with machetes and chopped up the stone-throwing youths, leaving them with some serious chop wounds.
