Castries (CMC):

St Lucia police yesterday said that a 48-year-old man was shot and killed on the weekend while he was demolishing a private unoccupied house in La Clery, just on the outskirts of the capital.

They said that Marius Polidore was part of a group of men who were hired to demolish the house when he was shot on Saturday night.

The police said that Polidore was killed by a single gunshot to his upper torso. They said that no one has been arrested in connection with the 16th murder so far this year.

Prime Minister Stephenson King has promised that his administration would deal strongly with persons engaged in increased criminal activities here
