Philipsburg: --- The St. Maarten Police Department are currently investigating five murder cases, four of which were committed in 2009 and one in 2010 said Prosecutor Rienk Mud. Mud made clear that his office has determined that a crime has been committed in the death of Christian Lloyd whose body was removed from his St. Peters home on Monday. However, he is not able to give any details on the gruesome killing, which rocked the St Peters neighbourhood.

Asked how the investigations are progressing in the Haresh Dayalani case Mud said that case is progressing well but they have chosen to remain tight-lipped on the investigations. The public prosecutor who is also over the detective department said they are making progress with the investigation into the shooting death of David Eustace Priest but he is not willing to divulge any information to the media since the investigation is currently ongoing.

Mud further explained that the detectives are also investigating the killing of the Haitian man that was found in his Middle Region home, the Eric Yuan Sam killing as well as Lloyd. "We have decided not to give out any information on these murder investigations because none of them are closed. I am sorry I cannot give you or your colleagues anymore information on these investigations except to say they are progressing well," Mud said on Tuesday.
