The Public Prosecutor has extended Aubrey Tom's detention to eight more days. Tom arrived on St. Maarten on Saturday as he is currently on vacation. He rented a jet-ski from Great Bay Beach Hotel on Sunday and was riding his jet-ski in the vicinity of Great Beach when two teenagers who were on the beach stopped him and asked him for a ride. Somehow, the jet-ski flipped over and all three persons on the machine fell overboard.
Felecia Williams (16), student of the St. Maarten Academy could not swim and she perished. Tom and the other teenager; Shamira Benjamin were rescued. Tom was arrested the same night as he is considered a flight risk.
