A post-mortem examination conducted on the body of Dennis Faucher aka “Two Pence” of Up The Line, Micoud on Tuesday, September 6, 2016 revealed that he died as a result of ligature strangulation.
St. Lucia News Online (SNO) understands that the investigation into the 66-year-old man’s death is now being treated as a homicide investigation following the post-mortem results.
Relatives had found Faucher on Sunday, September 4, hanging from a tree, after he went missing for close to two weeks.
He was last seen around 4:30.p.m. Saturday, August 20, 2016.
Faucher 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.
Investigations are continuing.
