The injury Monrose sustained from the alleged beating.
The Praedial Larceny Unit said it is not aware of any situation that involves a 33-year-old man in Micoud being allegedly beaten by special police constables.
Officer-in-charge of the Praedial Larceny Unit in the south, Kasha Mitchel, said she would have to investigate the matter to ascertain whether the incident is true.
Mitchel told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) today that she would have to first speak with the constables and her supervisor to verify that information, while noting that her supervisor is currently off island.
The official said even if the information is true, she would still need to speak with her supervisor, before she is allowed to make any statements regarding the matter.
This publication first made contact with the Ministry of Agriculture, to speak with the head of the unit, but was told that he is in a meeting.
SNO was later put onto the office in the north, before getting in touch with Mitchel, who is in charge of the south.
