SMN News learnt that two of the suspects were arrested on Friday evening while the third was arrested on Sunday during an operation organized by the Gendarmerie. The source said the Gendarmes knew who the killers were since several persons including children witnessed the killing of the young man. Jah Lee was beaten with a baseball bat and stabbed multiple times. Friday's attack was the second for the week for Jah Lee a relative of the slain man said. The victim was released from the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital on Friday as he was admitted to the medical institution the first time he was attacked and stabbed.
Already, the French side of the island recorded some five murders for the year 2011, three of which were committed in Sandy Ground, one in French Quarter and the latest one was committed on Friday in Concordia. So far the Gendarmes have arrested the suspects for four of the five murders while the murder of Gerald James Jr. who was shot to death in French Quarter on June 22nd 2011 remains unsolved. Reliable sources say the Gendarmes have an idea as to who might have shot and killed James but the suspect already fled the island.
Efforts made by SMN News to reach the commandant of the Gendarmerie Stephen Brunet and Prosecutor Jacques Louvier on Sunday for confirmation on the arrests of the suspects proved futile.
In the meantime, the Dutch side recorded 11 murders for the year, three of which are solved. Police and detectives from the TGO team are busy working on the eight unsolved murders. Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos confirmed that three of the eleven murders committed this year have been solved. Solved are the murders of Ludovic Guillevin, Fiodel Louis and the Cheetah Moon chef.
Those that are still to be solved are, Emilio De Leon Reyes, Amador Jones, Hector Miguel Arrindell, Rodolfo Arrindell, Kevin Gumbs, Eric Lake, and Sheldon Thomas, while police have arrested the father of the 11th murder victim as a suspect of the murder of his daughter Tiffany Reid.
