A few weeks before the vote to elect the parliament of Sint Maarten, the campaign turned into drama on Wednesday evening with the assassination of the wife of the leader of the Oualichi Movement for Change party, Olivier Arrindell, himself wounded by a gunshot. A minor also present in the vehicle at the time of the shooting escaped unhurt.
According to the first elements of the investigation, the events took place around 21:30 p.m. not far from Maho. An armed man opened fire on the car in which Olivier Arrindell was with his wife and a minor. After suffering several gunshots, the leader of the Oualichi Movement for Change party took refuge in the lobby of a hotel complex located in Maho. Once they arrived on scene, police said two people were hit, including a woman who died of her injuries. It is in fact his wife, Sabine. For his part, Olivier Arrindell was transported to Sint Maarten Medical Center for a shoulder injury. Before arriving at the hospital, the victim recorded a video showing his gunshot wound. He accuses his political opponents of being at the origin of the attack which cost the life of his wife. The investigation, which is only in its early stages, will have to lift the veil on the gray areas surrounding this deadly shooting. _AF
