THE POLICE FORCE IN TURMOIL

The Police Force has caused the death of an elderly gentleman, Mr. Desire Croisee, a 77yr old of Belveder. The gentleman was arrested at his home and taken to the Mont Fleuri Police Station where there was no available cell to house Mr. Croisee.

Some smart Ali decided to take Mr. Croisee to the Beau Vallon station, where he died in custody in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Mr. Croisee is known to have a serious medical condition for which he was under medical observation. The police knew that. A bright mind would have taken Mr. Croisee to the Victoria Hospital for a medical check before taken him to a police cell on the other side of the island. Instead they took him to certain death.

The Police Force should now take full responsibility in the demise of the elderly gentleman. The Police Commissioner Gerard Waye-Hive must order an investigation in the matter, it will help in preventing a similar situation from happening!
