NARRATIVE
Following
the phone calls made to Ms. Red by the kidnappers, the police showed up at the
night club called After Dark at 3.00 hours on 9 May 2011. They forced their way
inside, freed Mr. Red and arrested the kidnappers. Following one week of captivity,
Mr. Red was taken to the Martissant station by UNPOL officers for interrogation
in order to shed light on the circumstances of his kidnapping.
Mr.
Red explained that, on Sunday 1 May 2011, he went to the clinic early in the
morning to see a doctor and get examined for stomach pain. While he was inside
the clinic waiting for his appointment, three Haitian men entered the clinic,
looked at him with insistence, and immediately went back outside. He found it
suspicious, but did not pay too much attention to it. After seeing the doctor,
he walked out of the clinic and waited for a few minutes in front of the
medical center for his sister to arrive.
Suddenly,
a brown mini-bus appeared in front of him and stopped. He was violently forced
inside by the three men he had previously seen in the clinic. They were yelling
and swearing at him. There were two other men sitting in the front of the vehicle,
wearing masks and keeping quiet.
Mr.
Red was taken to the night club called “After Dark”, located in Jacmel. After
their arrival, Mr. Red was taken to the owner of the club, whom he knew very
well.
Mr.
Red explained that he had previously been involved in some illegal business with
the owner of the club. Following orders from him, Mr. Red smuggled goods from
the Dominican Republic
Mr.
Red said that while in captivity, the owner of the night club threatened him, saying
he wanted his money back. Mr. Red stated that he didn’t know what money he was referring
to and repeated he did not owe anyone any money.
Mr.
Red was locked up and handcuffed in the storage room of the club. He was bitten
a number of times by the owner of the club during his detention.
DIALOGUE
Police
Officer: Please state your
name and date of birth for the record.
Victim: My
name is Charley Red. I was born on 4 February 1981.
Police
Officer: First
of all, we are very glad you got released after one week of being held
hostage. Are you fine?
Victim: I
feel shocked after the police operation, but at least I’m not injured.
Police
Officer: I realize that we made
a lot of noise while breaking in. But now - could you explain me what happened
on Sunday 1 May 2011?
Victim: Sure.
I had been having stomach pain for about a week. So I made an appointment at the clinic to see
a doctor about it that morning.
Police
Officer: So
you saw a doctor?
Victim: Yes.
He gave me some medication to take.
Police
Officer: So
after you had your appointment you were kidnapped?
Victim: Yes.
But I have to say that while I was waiting in the clinic, three Haitian men came
in, looked at me with insistence, and immediately went back outside. I found it
very suspicious, but I didn’t pay much attention to them.
Police
Officer: Do
you know these men?
Victim: No,
not at all.
Police
Officer: Keep
going please. What happened after that?
Victim: After
seeing the doctor, I walked out of the clinic and waited for my sister to
arrive. After a few minutes, a brown mini-bus
stopped in front of me. The three men that I had previously seen inside the
clinic violently forced me inside, yelling and swearing at me.
Police
Officer: There
were only three men inside the vehicle?
Victim: No.
There were two other men sitting in the front, wearing masks and keeping quiet.
Police
Officer: Where
did they take you?
Victim: They
took me to a night club I know very well. It’s called “After Dark” and it’s
located in Jacmel. As soon as we arrived there, I was taken to the owner of the
club, whom I also know very well.
Police
Officer: Do
you have any idea why these men kidnapped you?
Victim: Well,
I was previously involved in some illegal business with the owner of the night
club. He used to give me orders to smuggle goods from the Dominican Republic
Police
Officer: We
know that you were arrested by the Haitian National Police for smuggling meat
and cigarettes about three months ago. When were you released?
Victim: I
was released on 30 April 2011.
Police
Officer: So
why did they kidnap you?
Victim: The
owner of the night club threatened me and said he wanted his money back. I have
no idea what he was talking about, since I don’t owe money to anyone. And while
I was in the jail I decided to stop any illegal activity with him. I don’t want
to go to prison again.
Police
Officer: We
found you handcuffed at the storage room of the club. When did they put
handcuffs on you?
Victim: It
happened the very first day, before they locked me up. The owner of the club
came a number of times and bit me during my detention.
Police
Officer: You will be taken to
the doctor right now. Stay safe!
Victim: Thank you.
