Infighting within the main opposition United Democratic Party in Belize has spilt into the public domain.

On Monday, Belize Opposition Leader Shyne Barrow filed a formal complaint with the police department after reportedly being threatened by the party's second deputy leader, Beverly Williams.

Media reports said the two were engaged in a bitter spat last weekend that quickly became personal, and during the exchange of words, Ms Williams is alleged to have made a threat to Mr Barrow's life.
