Zucchini Investigation
On Tuesday March 18th 2014, the Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM) was notified by the French police (Gendarmerie) that a young lady had died in the hospital on the French side as a result of a wound she sustained during a shooting. The name of the victim is Deynaida Feyenete, born 10th December 1993.
The French Police started an investigation later that day. The following day the KPSM received information from the French Police that the victim was shot in the morning of March 18th in Dutch Quarter on the Dutch side of Sint Maarten. Based on that information the KPSM started an investigation as well on March 19th 2014. This investigation is called “Zucchini”.
As the case is still being investigated, the KPSM and the Public Prosecutors Service would like to have more information from the public. Anyone who has more information regarding this shooting in Dutch Quarter or information regarding the circumstances that lead to this shooting are requested to inform the detective department of KPSM. For a successful prosecution it is very important that statements are given in person to the detectives. On various internet sites information about the shooting was posted. Two names were also mentioned on the internet, namely: Alexis Roberts and Brent Berry.
Our investigation has shown that these persons are “suspects” in this case and the police making an appeal to them to turn themselves in and report to the Detective Department for questioning. The police will also like to inform the general public that assisting a person sought by police as a “suspect” in any criminal case is punishable by law.
