Reaction President Aline Hanson – violent acts

I learned with sadness that a new homicide occurred in Saint-Martin, this Wednesday, July 13, in the Mont Vernon sector. A sixty-year-old woman was the subject of a fatal shooting.
I would like to send my sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of the victim. The territorial council of Saint-Martin joins me in conveying to them all our support and that of our population.
It is particularly difficult to see that this territory where we have lived for so long in fraternity is today today faced with a series of violent acts of exceptional gravity.
The fact that this gratuitous violence is perpetrated in broad daylight, at a time when many fellow citizens are going about their business, leads to a feeling of insecurity and a great concern within our community.
I ask people with information to pass it on to the gendarmerie so that the perpetrators can be apprehended and answer for their actions before the courts. The population must have confidence in the work of the police who are doing everything possible to resolve these cases.

Aline HANSON
President of the territorial council of Saint-Martin
