Philipsburg: --- The boyfriend of slain Nejumbia Fleming and father of Ronelyia Fleming, Rosendo Kingsdale were heard by a French judge at the Phillipsburg Police Station on June 5th 2008. Nejumbia Fleming and her baby were murdered in her home on October 30th 2008.
Prosecutor Jacques Louvier said the judge Terrier from Basseterre came to the island to question Rosendo Kingsdale. Kingsdale was seen in the company of police officers as he arrived from Statia to the Philipsburg Station. Louvier said even though the young man was questioned by the judge no extradition was requested by the French. The local prosecutor said the French authorities are working diligently to solve the most brutal murders on the French side of the island. He said even though they have one of the suspects in detention she is not cooperating well with investigators.
The police on the Dutch side of the island arrested Kingsdale the same day the crime was committed. The young man spent a few weeks in detention but was later released when the authorities on the French side failed to provide evidence to hold him as a suspect. The French also did not submit the necessary documents to request an extradition. Also arrested that same day was a former girlfriend of Kingsdale Rochely de Windt (25) who is currently in detention in Guadeloupe.
Nejumbia Fleming died of a single gunshot wound to the head while the killers broke the neck of baby Ronelyia. The killers also set the house in which the crime took place on fire.
