PHILIPSBURG/TRINIDAD: --- Sandra Emmanuel, aka “Warrior Princess,” the mother of Mescach Emmanuel, AKA 'Plumpy Boss, who was shot early Sunday morning while he was on St. Maarten to perform at Moon Bar, said she wants the government of St. Maarten to provide proper healthcare for her son who is currently hospitalized at the St. Maarten Medical Center in critical condition.
“I want my son to get the best treatment in St. Maarten. There is a bullet logged in his head; my son did not go to St. Maarten to rob anyone or sell drugs; he went there to perform, and the people of St. Maarten shot up my son.”
Emmanuel was firing expletives as she spoke with SMN News regarding her child’s medical condition.
Asked how she knew the shooters were from St. Maarten since her son is not from St. Maarten but was allowed entry to St. Maarten despite his criminal records, Emmanuel said she was sure it was people from St. Maarten that were paid by the 6-gang to shoot her son.
A furious Emmanuel said what she wants is for her child to receive proper healthcare, as she continued to fire expletives before hanging up the telephone.
In a follow-up interview, Emmanuel said she is the mother of nine children, eight boys and one daughter. She explained that she already lost two of her sons to gun violence, while her third son was now in a hospital in St. Maarten with a bullet lodged in his head.
“I lost a son in 2009 and another in 2013. I am told that the hospital in St. Maarten is not for foreigners. They told me that my son came into the hospital walking and talking even though there was a bullet lodged in his head, and they were the ones that induced a coma so that he could save his energy. They also told me that they are in the process of sending my son back to Trinidad, where he could receive further medical care.”
Acting Police Spokesman Inspector Felix Richards said a rumor started on Sunday where people are saying the artiste passed away from his injuries. Richards said that even though he denounced the rumors on Sunday, people within the community continue to spread fake news. "As we speak, the medical condition of the artiste has not changed. He is still in critical condition at the St.Maarten Medical Center," Richards said.
