The investigation into the death of an ex-policeman in Micoud is being treated as a homicide investigation, a relative told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) on Tuesday.
Relatives had found Denis Faucher, alias Two-pence on Sunday, September 4, hanging from a tree, during a search for him, after he went missing for close to two weeks.
The 67-year-old man was last seen around 4:30.p.m. Saturday, August 20, 2016.
He had left his dog home, something relatives said was unusual. He was also found without shoes.
His brother, Albert Faucher had told SNO on Monday: “He was kidnapped…I think he was killed.”
Albert said he was very close to his brother and at no time did he ever discuss having any problems. He lives a normal life and had no trouble with people, he stated.
A post-mortem examination was conducted on Tuesday.
