Police have arrested two men in relation with the recent homicide in Vieux Fort.
The arrest comes almost four days after Donovan Fontenelle, 36, of Belle Vue, Vieux-Fort passed away at the St. Jude Hospital.
The man was discovered on Wednesday, May 13 at around 7:30 p.m. with chop wounds about his body in a banana plantation in Vigier.
He was taken to the hospital and remained there until his death.
Fontenelle sustained serious chops on his head and one of his legs.
Relatives believe the injury to his head is responsible for his death. He was in a coma for over one week.
His brother, Stephen Dornelly, told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that the police said they have spoken with a few potential witnesses, but they are afraid to come forward.
Dornelly said he is glad that some level of justice is prevailing in the case.
