Police have arrested a suspect in a chopping incident that occurred in Vigier, Vieux Fort at around 7: 00 a.m. today, June 24.
Reports are that a young male, identified as Kieran Tobierre of Desruisseaux, Micoud, was maimed by the suspect.
Sources told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that the suspect in question is well known to Micoud police.
A source said the suspect was recently acquitted of six charges by the Dennery Court.
Reports are that on February 14, 2014 he allegedly threatened to shoot a police officer, threw stones at a police officer, damaged the officer’s shirt, and also wounded his cousin with a stone to the head.
When SNO contacted the Vieux-Fort Police Station for official information, a police officer told this reporter that he does not have the information and the investigating officer is off duty and will return on Friday.
The police press officer could not be reached for details as his phone rang without answer.
