The St. Martin police have arrested three persons for the murder of “Jah Lee,” a Dominican that was brutally murdered Friday afternoon in the Concordia district of the island.

The St. Martin News Network (SMN) reports that two suspects were arrested on Friday evening while the other was apprehended on Sunday. It is reported that the police knew the killers since several people, including children, witnessed the killing of Jah Lee.

The Dominican lost his life at the Louie Constance Fleming Hospital after being beaten twice. It is reported that he was attacked, beaten and stabbed by a group of young men earlier last week and after receiving medical attention he was released on Friday.

However on Friday while walking in the district of Concordia, he was attacked again with a baseball bat. It is said that he was also stabbed for a second time.

Jah Lee was unable to recuperate from his injuries that he received to his head and died while he was being treated.

The reason for the attack is still not known.

    An unfortunate situation for both islands involved, therefore I think its pointless to bash at each other when situations like this occur,IT HAPPENS EVERYWHERE.it the lack of disrespect for PEOPLE,PROPERTY and DOING WHAT’S RIGHT which causes these things. Until we’ve learnt these things and put them into practice IT STAYS AS IS. Sympathies to the family!!!

      But wait a while the three young men who kill this guy i am certainly sure you know very well their occupation which is STEAL,COMMIT CRIME AND GO PRISON,come out then the same process again,the problem with you all SXM people is you all keep silent when the crime is commiteed by one of your own,nobody talks but when is an immigrant from where ever you all are fast to complain.I know for sure every person on the french side knows that the 3 guys are CRIMINALS and big criminals too.sSo take your coment back and examine your island and your citizens because you are fast to label immigrants but keep hiden your very own that is why there is so much crime and violence going on

      the goverment control us so good that they make us hate itch other with different religion .the dominican man, the haitian man , the guadeloupean man, the french man, the american man and name the rest , only have they’r way of doing or acting or talking because they was born and grow up around people who do things this way. but a dominican couple who make a child in france, this child will talk and act like french people . and so goes for the others .
      Now my first grand mother i will never know who she was, the dominican first grand Mother, the guadeloupean first GM, the martinique man first GM and name the rest, all these first grand mothers came from the same place. they only was cary on defront slave ships to defront places, to defront masters, defront weather, defront nature, defront food and thats why we soo defront .
      Your comment is a very racist comment .
      “If” i was a dj and i knew u, when i see you in a party i will play a wck song and like a ypocrite u will danse. U remind me those people who hate haitian people, but when a sweet compas music play they are the first on the dance floor like ypocrites .
      The music makes you feel what the nation feel .
      How can you hate a nation but u love they’r music ???

      It is God who gives life,and it is he who surpose to take.What ever this boy was,does not give anyone the right to snape away his life from him.I don’t know him but he is humam like u and i.He had no right to steal but if this was the case, this was not of him but the devil.The devil if the deciever of this world we live in.We need to stop this eye for an eye,tooth for tooth.Can we ever stop to thing all the wrong things we do?If our father God don’t forgive us what would we be.It is the duty of each and everyone of us to change the world and stop all these violence.Lets stop lambasing our political leaders for every crime commmited in the country.Lets together change the country with some things positive to say,and learn to forgive each other.This is the remedy to all htese crimes.

      Ignorant, comment The world is a civilized place or should be. Every time one takes the law in their own hand families suffer and people hurt. Thieves exist every where in this universe. In the developed countries and also in the third World countrie, but are all human beings.
      To write a comment like that is mind buggling and down right disturbing. Hope u are not typical of your nation.

    What happened there was indeed terrible and should not be condoned by anyone . We must not become lawless societies and further degrade the worth of the black man .
    With respect to calling each other poor and Haitian.
    We must realize that Haiti was a strong beacon of Black pride and independence and hence are suffering for that ever since defeating powerful European masters .
    For your Information Haiti played a role in the independence of The great USA.
    Know your History. Up your mighty race .

      Haiti played a role in the independence of The great USA. would like to ask you a question, why is it that they are not welcome in the USA, do your research about little Haiti in Florida, this you need to do as well, whenever a Haitian would commit a crime, they would flee to Haiti

    Unless people come to know God and allow Jesus and His Holy spirit to take full control of their lives,they will always remain with a heart that is “desparately wicked”my heart goes out to the young man’s family and may the long arm of the law deal with the killers,they need prayer,that young man suffered a lot of painand I do believe that that they attempted to kill him the first time but failed so they just finished what they started with absolutely no remorse decendants of Cain smh!!

    No one has the RIGHT to take the life of another man… no matter what.

    Lord Guide me father lest i get tempted to kill another.
    For the life that we live is not ours but yours Lord.
