Police in Belize have charged two teenagers in the slaying of a Canadian man who was found dead in Belize earlier this week.

Matthiew Klinck -- a producer and filmmaker from Quebec -- was found stabbed to death after an apparent robbery at his home in Selena Village in Belize on Monday.

Asst.-Supt. Reymundo Reyes says a 19-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy were detained by police for questioning on Wednesday and were formally charged on Friday.

He says both are charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder in relation with Klinck's death.

Reyes identified the 19-year-old as a Belizean labourer named Brandon Anderson.

The name of the 16-year-old, who is also Belizean, could not be provided due to his age.
