He said the recent events are worrying this unfortunately illustrates the difficulties with regards to joint cooperation within the justice system.
Louvier said there were extreme violence in three separate incidents, the first he said occurred on October 31 in Orient Bay where more than 60 children were present at the time. One of the fighters he said was stabbed with a knife in the chest area and is now a patient at the L.C Fleming Hospital.
Earlier this year a young woman claimed she was raped twice in Galis Bay in the car of an alleged rapist, the woman claimed she managed to escape her attacker and went to the St. Maarten Medical Center where she was refused treatment because the incident occurred on the French side of the island. The victim then returned and went to the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital where she managed to both report the incident and seek medical care. Her attacker was arrested subsequently by the gendarmes.
On Saturday morning a group of French youths was at an ATM machine in Simpson Bay where an alleged argument broke out and one of the victims was stabbed. A 21 year old young man succumbed to his injuries.
