Sandy ground: --- The body of a 25- year old man was fished out of the Simpson Bay lagoon close to the Sandy Ground Bridge early on Tuesday morning. The man whom the gendarmes said has died of drowning and bears no marks of violence has been working at Cadisco Gas Station not from the Beach Plaza Hotel. The gendarmes said based on the medical doctor and technician there is no immediate traces of a crime, however an investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of death.
SMN News has been reliably informed that the dead man had suspicious injuries to the head and that the victim is from St. Lucia and resides somewhere in Sandy Ground. It is said the man was probably killed.
Commandant of the gendarmerie Stephanne Arrousseau said that would be determined at the end of the investigation.
Man Chops up Mother Over Girl Friend
In the meantime, the gendarmes are busy looking for a 21-year old young man known in the community of Sandy Ground as Mark from Haiti. SMN News has learnt that the young man who is very aggressive has a habit of beating his mother, but earlier this week he chopped his mother on her head and face.
The source said his mother and girl friend apparently had some disagreements. Residents of Sandy Ground said the woman is a known vendor in the village she has a number of stitches in her head and over her eye. The young man they said has gone into hiding since this last incident. They said on several occasions residents of Sandy Ground have saved the woman from the constant abuse from her son.
Commandant Stephanne Arrousseau confirmed the incident but refuse to divulge any information on the case. Arrousseau said he would send out a press release when the investigation is over.
