The President of the Saint Lucia Senate, Stanley Felix, will re-appear in court on November 16, after he was granted EC$15,000 on a charge of perverting the course of justice.
Felix, 59, appeared before Magistrate Bertlyn Reynolds after he was arrested by police on Thursday as law enforcement officials continue their investigations into a murder.
As part of the condition for bail, Felix, an attorney, is to report to the police every first Saturday as well as surrender his travel documents. He must not leave the country without permission.
A statement from St. Lucia’s Prime Minister Phillip J Pierre said the Governor General, acting in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister and pursuant to section of the Constitution of Saint Lucia, has been advised to revoke Mr Felix’s appointment and relieve him of his Senatorial duties in the Upper House of Parliament. His successor will be announced at a subsequent time.
