Rape Suspect Arrested --- well known criminal in Caribbean Islands—Police release suspect claiming he made mistake.

Philipsburg: ---Police have arrested a Guyanese national identified as C.S who raped a young woman on Saturday January 10th. The culprit is also a well known convict in Guyana and is presumably wanted in Suriname. It is understood that C.S followed his victim home and later attacked her at gun point. SMN News understands that C.S beat the young woman that night and dragged her up a dirt road. The next morning C.S returned to the house and pulled open the door where he raped the woman and left her.
SMN News also understands that the young man who has close relatives living on St. Maarten lived on the island in the early 2000's and he had committed several armed robberies locally.
After the arrest was made yesterday evening a police brigadier released the wanted man claiming that he thought the man was arrested for immigration matters. The police brigadier they said told his colleagues he made a mistake when he released the suspect, claiming that C.S sister had provided legal documents for him to reside on St. Maarten.
Sources told SMN News that there are questions surrounding the man's release since the brigadier who released the suspected rapist had abused one of his outside women last year and he has no power to release any prisoner.
SMN News understands that C.S is accustomed of using false names in Guyana, Suriname and St. Maarten and he is part of a huge criminal gang in his home country.
He is said to be working at a bike rental shop in Pointe Blanche.
This media house was reliably informed that the victim in this case is a teacher who once had a close relationship with her attacker.

In the meantime, the gendarmes are busy searching the island for at least two persons who committed a violent rape on another woman in Concordia. It is understood that the rape took place during an armed robbery on December 31 2008. Even though the gendarmes have confirmed the incident they have remained tightlipped on the case.
