Boris Mannsfeld, a former Denver-based real estate developer, was found shot to death in his yard at a luxury Belize community Friday night in what authorities say could be a hit job.
One of Mannsfeld’s former associates, Frik de Meyere, is in custody, but has not been charged with any crimes.
According to Belize media, Mannsfeld sent an email last month about a “massive fraud case” involving a $3.9-million lawsuit against a former associate and millions in stolen assets.
Two of Mannsfeld’s associates were killed in 2023 and 2024—one of whom reportedly planned to provide evidence incriminating de Meyere. Police say they are not ruling out a connection between the deaths.
