Marigot: ------ Three young men were transported to Basseterre to answer charges for armed robbery and assault of Thomas Krider Program Manager of Radio Transat. Krider was robbed and violently beaten on April on 14th at his home.

The men who are from St. Maarten 21 years of age, Aruba 21 years of age and St. Domingo 20 years old was sentenced to five years behind bars with one year probation. They were escorted to prison immediately after the trial yesterday afternoon.
It is said the culprits were arrested in Rambaud on Monday and they have confessed to the crime since certain personal belongings of Krider was found at their house.

Earlier this month an email was sent to all media houses saying that Krider has been involved with the internet magazine "le Calmar" which has been suspended. However, SMN News understands that Krider has nothing to do with the internet magazine and neither does the suspects. The source said that the situation surrounding the ‘le calmar" and the incident of Krider is just a matter of co-incidence.
