Murder of South African nationals in St Marie: two suspects arrested

On Monday, June 14th, St Marie’s national state police arrested the warden dismissed one week before the murder on the bases of widespread rumors throughout Agniribe (braids’ isles), a hamlet in which the murder couple was living. The police forces immediately captured the gardener who was still on duty a couple of days before the murder, and are currently investigating her.

The murder’s mobile would equally involve various other people. Still according to rumors, it would be a matter of some land dispute.

On Friday night, June 11th, both South African nationals were stabbed to death, their home was plundered and set alight. Their relatives and a foreign practitioner reached St Marie by special flight from South Africa on Thursday.

The suspects’ trial is expected to come true before long, case to be continued
