The board of agricultural cooperative KriaTur has expressed shock and sadness following yet another incident of theft and vandalism at the Agrarisch en Visserijbeheer (AVB) facility in Willemstad — formerly known as LVV. The cooperative states that it had recently implemented measures to counter such criminal acts on the property. Despite those efforts, goats were stolen from the AVB grounds in what KriaTur describes as a 'lamentable' act. The cooperative's board is now demanding formal legal steps be taken against those responsible. The repeated nature of the incidents suggests an ongoing problem with security at the agricultural site. KriaTur's public statement signals growing frustration among local farmers and cooperative members over the lack of protection for livestock and agricultural assets.

During court proceedings in Willemstad, Curaçao on Wednesday, 42-year-old Cherlon Z. appeared before the court in connection with the murder of 23-year-old Denison Gijsbertha, which occurred on October 2, 2025.

Cherlon Z. further claimed that a bounty had been placed on his head, which he stated was the reason he had wanted to flee Curaçao. His assertion of innocence and the alleged threat to his life formed the central arguments presented during the hearing. The case highlights ongoing concerns about gang-related violence and targeted killings on the island. The proceedings are continuing as the court examines the evidence and testimony surrounding the fatal shooting.
