The top cop said her department is also busy finalizing the reports on death (suicide) of 11 year old Gregory Charmes. Jacobs described both cases as being sensitive but said the police and people of St. Maarten has to know what pushed the young child to take his own life. Jacobs said the police did not conduct a criminal investigation into the Charmes case but they did conduct a technical investigation since they want to know exactly what pushed such a young child to take his own life. Jacobs said the reason for investigation was not because they wanted to find a perpetrator but to prevent future incidents and most importantly the police want to know why it happened.
Chief Commissioner of Police Peter De Witte assured that both these files will be sent over the prosecutor's office for a decision to be taken.
