Police has said to be starting an extensive investigation into the death of the deceased person encountered this morning in a house in St. Eustatius.
Kralendijk- On Sunday June 25th around 1.00 AM the Dutch Caribbean Police Force (KPCN) on St. Eustatius received a call that two injured persons would be found in a dwelling.
On the scene Police discovered one deceased and one wounded person. The injured person was transported to the Queen Beatrix medical Centre for treatment. Police say they have now started an extensive investigation into what has occurred inside the house.
The official information by the Police contradicts earlier information on various news sites and social media forums which mentioned two lifeless bodies being found.
