THE CANARIES KIDNAP AND RAPE: A MOTHER DIES AND HER BELOVED SON CAN'T EVEN PAY HIS FINAL RESPECTS TO HER

One of the accused perpetrators of the rape and kidnap of a developmentally-challenged boy from Canaries was in Choiseul on Sunday afternoon to pay respects to his mother, who passed away a day before the mauling of the helpless autistic victim! His alleged co-partner - the marine police friend - was there with him!

Upon their arrival at his mother’s home, there was an “eerie feeling” that something was amiss. Apparently, the two men could not contain their potentially intimately gay relationship; and the seemingly homophobic gathering of sympathizers openly expressed some displeasure at the overt leakage. A couple of the relatives were bold enough to confront them with direct questions about their sexual orientation. The men denied vehemently.

The couple left Choiseul at about 6.30 pm Sunday; but the debate about them continued into the night and became the headline at the wake.

JUKE BOIS BROKE THE STORY

Then Monday morning came and news that an autistic boy was the victim of a dastardly act of sodomy and kidnapping saturated the airwaves. The way Sam Flood put out the gory details out on that morning stirred my blood to mutiny. Indeed, it was found out later that it was the same couple who denied the existence of such a relationship. That virtually brought the crime to my doorstep.

Almost after a week of the story dominating the airwaves, some good news finally came: that the alleged culprits had been charged with kidnapping and sodomy; it was even better news to know that they had been remanded in custody at the Bordelais Correctional facility with no bail until October.

The episode represented “a double-hit” for the mourning family of one of the perpetrators whose mother passed away the day before the incident. The mother will be buried sometime next week and it’s indeed regrettable that the son wouldn’t even be able to pay his final respects to his mum.

Meanwhile, the family is in a state of double jeopardy, as they now have to contend with the son’s case and (at the same time) with his mother’s death.

The son was due back in Choiseul on Monday to help make arrangements for his mother’s burial and to help take care of his 4 younger siblings who are between the ages of 17 to 10.
