PHILIPSBURG--Five suspects in the Vesuvius investigation had their custody extended for eight more days when they were taken before the Judge of Instruction on Friday.
The judge considered their arrest and subsequent custody lawful.
The five included the suspect who was arrested last week in connection with this same investigation.
The first suspect arrived at the Philipsburg Courthouse around 11:00am escorted by several officers.
The five suspects identified as C.R. (29), A.D. (30) also known as Ratty, E.M. (34), K.D. who was arrested in Belvedere on November 8, and D.T (25) had mixed expressions as they were taken into the courthouse.
Meanwhile, Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos noted that questions had been raised about the name of the investigation ? "Vesuvius" ? and explained that the police usually give names to large scale investigations and "these names are unbiased and picked from a list of names that have a predetermined topic: rivers, plants, fish, mountains and, this time, volcanoes."
He continued: "Earlier this year smaller investigations as part of a large scale investigation were named after volcanoes. This time Vesuvius was next on the list. Currently the investigation is on full speed ahead. It will take considerable more time."
Executed simultaneously at 10 different locations Wednesday morning, Vesuvius resulted in the arrest of eight suspects and confiscation of several guns, other weapons and a considerable amount of drugs and money. The search was authorised by the Prosecutor's Office based on information linking the suspects to a number of violent murders in St. Maarten.
The TGO Vesuvius investigation team has appealed to witnesses who can give information about the murders that have taken place in St. Maarten since April this year to provide this information by calling tel. (001-721) 580-3952.
