Saint Lucia police have arrested two individuals and charged them in connection with a shooting incident in Soufriere recently.
The two have been identified as Gordon Pascal and Torrel Pascal of Fond Bernier, Soufriere.
They are suspects in a shooting that occurred on July 3 in the same community.
A male individual sustained a gunshot wound to the waist in that incident.
Gordon and Torrel Pascal have been remanded in custody until August 4, 2020.
It was not immediately clear whether the two are man related.
Just this week Acting Police Commissioner, Milton Desir disclosed that Special Service Unit officers will be deployed to Soufriere in response to a spike in gun violence.
The disclosure came as the MP for the area and community leaders announced that they had organised a meeting that which rival groups pledged to make peace.
Good move!
The police did a very good job by arresting and Charging these two individuals
This is a great job by the soufriere pilice. By the way Mr Desir don’t you think a shooting and squandering public funds through Direct purchase are equal? Whic police have you assigned to investigate this?
So did all the rival gangs sit down for a tea party,with cakes included.What agreement did you reach,stop the shooting till Pip takes over.Pathetic all of you,you negociating with the Taliban,poor wee.
