"This could happen to anyone of us and the killer is walking free out there. It appears to us that this case has been placed in the cold files. What we heard is that there are 25 detectives working on one case while the investigation into the other murders slowed down." The relative continued.
David Eustace Priest was shot to death on October 2nd 2009 just around 2pm said close relatives. "David was leaving Casa Blanca to go meet his lawyers when he was brutally murdered in his van."
Police was sure they got the killer when they arrested a well known convict from the French side but this person refused to cooperate with police even though convicted on previous crimes. The case of Eustace Priest is yet to go before the courts.
In an invited comment press prosecutor Rienk Mud said the detective department is short staffed and the detectives are working overtime on these cases. The press prosecutor also said that people who saw what happen the day Eustace Priest was murdered should come forward. "The detectives are doing their very best but they are not able to do it alone." Mud said.
The press prosecutor further explained that the TGO team has taken up 25 detectives which indeed slowed down the other investigations. "I can assure you that even though the detectives and prosecutor's office have a lot on their hands, they are not neglecting any of these cases."
