On Thursday, July 31, the police high command informed the public that key pieces of evidence in the unsolved deaths of Kimberly De Leon and Chakadan Daniel are missing.

In the case of De Leon, Police Commissioner Verne Garde, reported a “breakthrough” in the matter, but explained that a key exhibit cannot be located; and in the case of Daniel, he indicated that the noose with which the 22-year-old was found hanging had been taken from its “sealed position”.

Prime Minister Pierre on Monday said he is concerned about these developments and expects the police to solve these matters.

“Of course, I must be concerned. I expect the police to leave no stone unturned to find out what really went wrong. It's not the best news, but I expect the police, as I said, to use all their investigative powers to see how these exhibits disappeared,” he explained.

Pierre urged investigators to use the powers available to them to ensure these matters are resolved at the soonest.

“They can't be treated as cold cases. We must find ways and means to solve these matters. The police must use all their best, greatest powers at their disposal to get to the bottom of this.”

Commissioner Garde has indicated that investigators are determined to find a conclusion to these matters.
