Matthiew Klinck , a 37-year-old from Quebec, was found dead in the village of Selena, located in Belize’s Cayo district, on Sunday. A post mortem examination found 14 stab wounds on Klinck’s upper back and neck, police said.

Police now say that a 19-year-old and a 16-year-old are facing murder charges in connection with the case, CTV Ottawa reported Friday. It is believed that Klinck was killed during an apparent robbery.

According to IMDb, Klinck was born in Aylmer, Que. His film credits include “Greg & Gentillon,” “Hank and Mike,” and “Une mission a partager.”

Klinck was reportedly producing a TV series in Belize at the time of his death.
