SMN News learnt that the main suspect a Jamaican also killed two persons in his country and he only arrived on St. Maarten recently. The source said the culprit managed to get a job 24 hours after he arrived on the island at the Bumper Car Fun Park and that he killed his employer less than one month after. Asked about this Mud said he is not able to get information from Jamaica that easily. He said for his office to receive the police records of the suspect he has to file an international request.
Now that it is stated that the suspect killed at least two persons in Jamaica prior to him coming to St. Maarten questions are being raised about the island's immigration system. The source said that anyone including notorious criminals is allowed to enter St. Maarten as long as they have the required amount of show monies at the airport. "There is no background check on anyone coming here. Had they implemented the visa for Guyanese and Jamaicans that person would not be here. He would have been screened prior to getting a visa." The source said.
