"It's a relief, given the savagery that this 31-year-old woman suffered. Angelique Chauvire's family said very few words to me. But I think they welcome this new sentence."
"This case is unusual and it will go down in history simply because we are dealing with a defendant who is a serial killer."
Kathron Cuchi Fortune, 47, received a separate 30-year sentence with at least 20 years to be served for torturing and killing Angelique Chauvire in 2006 in Saint Martin. Days earlier he was sentenced to life with a 22-year minimum for the 2005–2006 deaths of Jomo Maynard and Gilbert Hyman. Fortune had prior convictions in Sint Maarten, including a 21-year sentence in 2007 for the murder of Ervin Margarita. He escaped custody in February 2016 and later killed Luis Sarante Diaz and Edwin Rosario Contreras in December 2016; their bodies were found eight months later. Fortune fled to Saint Kitts in July 2017 armed and wearing body armour.
