ROTTERDAM--The Public Prosecutor's Office in Rotterdam will prosecute a man from St. Maarten for a murder that he supposedly committed in the Netherlands, but also for a deadly 2001 shooting in St. Maarten.
The Prosecutor's Office announced this during a so-called pro-forma handling at the Rotterdam Courts on Tuesday. The 34-year-old man from St. Maarten has been charged with the killing of a 31-year-old man from Rotterdam in front of a Rotterdam police station on April 9 this year.
The shooting in St. Maarten took place in January 2001 and took the life of a 34-year-old man. A co-suspect has already been sentenced to 13 years in St. Maarten.
The suspect in the Netherlands, whose initials have not been released, presented himself at a police station in Rotterdam at the end of May. During the investigation, police discovered that he was also sought in connection with a murder in St. Maarten.
After his arrest, the Public Prosecutor's Office in St. Maarten requested their colleagues in Rotterdam to prosecute the man for the crime in St. Maarten. The man's file has been transferred from St. Maarten to Rotterdam.
A date for the trial will be determined once the suspect has been heard about the murder case in St. Maarten. It was not clear on Tuesday whether the trial can proceed in three months.
