The new Anse aux Pins police station has been described as more work conducive and community-friendly.

Equipped with modern amenities, the new station which was inaugurated yesterday will serve the communities of Anse aux Pins, Cascade, Pointe Larue and Au Cap.

It was the Commissioner of Police Reginald Elizabeth and Designated Minister Macsuzy Mondon, who also holds the ministerial portfolio for Home Affairs, who had the honour of unveiling the commemorative plaque to officially open the station.

They were later guided on a tour of the building to inspect the facilities.

The names of the two American women found dead in their villas have been released to the media by the police who are continuing their investigation.

According to police spokesman Jean Toussaint, on Thursday 22, 2016, the Korkky sisters – Ann Marie (38) and Robin Marie (42) – were found unresponsive in their villa at the Maia Luxury Resort and Spa.

“The police were informed about this incident at around noon and immediately emergency services were called to the scene where they (the two sisters) were certified dead by a doctor,” said Mr Toussaint.

The sisters were here on holiday since September 15 and were originally expected to leave on Thursday 22, but had extended their stay till Saturday September 24.

Mr Toussaint added that according to the butler assigned to the villa of the sisters, when he arrived at the villa at 8.45am the sliding door was locked the same way as he left it the night before, but as the day went by he noticed there was still no movement in the room so he informed his supervisor who then informed the management who proceeded to calling the police.

“From the observation done by our police officers, there was no disturbance in the room and the two sisters were found unresponsive on the same bed,” he said.
