Saint Lucia suffered homicides 23 and 24 this week, after two more fatal shootings. One occurred on Thursday at Bois Patat, Morne Du Don; the other at Pavee, on Tuesday. Addressing the media about the latest fatalities, Acting Assistant Superintendent of Police, Elvis Thomas, said: “We can say that Curtis Christopher, a 34-year-old male of Morne Du Don, was pronounced dead at about 8:00am. There’s not much more that we can say for now. The investigation is very much active and so we’re hoping that as it progresses we would be able to provide you with more information.”
As for the Pavee homicide, Thomas revealed that the deceased had been identified as Earl Emmanuel, a 45-year-old male originally from Vieux Fort. According to the Acting ASP, officers on the scene requested assistance from emergency personnel, who then transported Emmanuel to Victoria Hospital via ambulance.
“He was later pronounced dead by a medical practitioner,” Thomas confirmed. He was unable to provide any information regarding suspects in relation to either homicide.
