Two men believed to be in their 20’s have been arrested for questioning in relation to a series of kidnapping that have taken place over the past several weeks in Vieux Fort.
Reports are that the duo were arrested on Tuesday at Sarrot, and are assisting the police with investigations.
The Police Press Office has said in a press statement that two persons were arrested on March 14, 2016 in connection with the homicide of 52 year old, Francis Cyrillien, of La Guerre, Babonneau.
It is not clear if these two persons were released or adds to the two that were arrested Tuesday.
Francis and a female were kidnapped on March 12 and taken to the Bois Chadon Beach in Beanfield Vieux Fort, where he was killed and tied to a tree.
The female was stripped naked and also tied to a tree. She, however, managed to free herself after the attackers left and raised an alarm.
Another man in his 50’s was recently attacked by two armed men, robbed of his cash and valuables and tied to a tree.
His vehicle was later found near the old runway in Vieux Fort.
It is believed that the same persons may be responsible for both incidents.
