Man Wanted in Martinique Murder Case Captured in Saint Lucia Pre-Dawn Raid

A man wanted in Martinique in connection with an alleged premeditated murder has been remanded to the Bordelais Correctional Facility after Saint Lucian police arrested him in a pre dawn operation in Marigot.

The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) identified the man as Erickson Leo, also known as Sahil Philogence and by the alias ‘Pig’. Officers from the Gangs, Narcotics and Firearms Unit, assisted by the Special Services Unit, executed an extradition warrant at a residence in La Croix Maingot at about 4 a.m. on Monday, 9 November 2026.

Police said the murder under investigation occurred in Martinique on 1 February 2023. The warrant also relates to Leo’s alleged participation in a criminal association operating between Martinique and Saint Lucia to facilitate the killing, as well as alleged offences involving the unlawful possession, carrying and transport of a Category B firearm or ammunition.

Leo was taken into custody and later appeared before a magistrate for an extradition hearing. He was then remanded to the Bordelais Correctional Facility.

The RSLPF said it continues to work with regional and international law enforcement partners to investigate serious and organized crime and apprehend people wanted in other jurisdictions.
