A man who entered the US illegally from Haiti and murdered a Fort Myers store clerk will face the death penalty, prosecutors said.
State Attorney Amira Fox announced Thursday that a Lee County grand jury returned an indictment against Rolbert Joachin, 40, in connection with the April 2 killing of Nilufa Easmın, a 51-year-old immigrant from Bangladesh, at a gas station in Fort Myers, Florida.
According to prosecutors, Joachin is accused of attacking the victim outside a gas station, striking her repeatedly in the head with a hammer and killing her.
Surveillance video captured the assault, which showed the victim being repeatedly struck in the head with a hammer after confronting the suspect for smashing her car window. Authorities described the video as “extremely brutal and incredibly violent.”
Investigators say Joachin fled the scene following the attack, prompting a citywide search before Fort Myers police located and arrested him.
“This crime was so violent, so extreme, so unwarranted. It is something that once seen, is never to be forgotten. I want to thank the Lee County Grand Jury who watched and reviewed the gruesome evidence in this case and gave their full attention. I know it was not easy. This defendant entered the United States illegally and brutally ended the life of a mother simply at her job, working to provide for her family,” State Attorney Fox said.
“He will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. We will seek the death penalty in this case,” Fox said.
President Donald Trump condemned the violent video, and blasted the Biden administration for releasing the suspect in 2022. --->READ MORE HERE
President Trump blamed the Biden administration’s lax immigration policies for spurring the release of a deranged Haitian migrant who allegedly bludgeoned a Florida mother to death in broad daylight — and shared horrific footage of the attack.
Rolbert Jaochin, 40, allegedly beat the 51-year-old mother of two with a hammer and left her to die in the parking lot outside a Chevron gas station in Fort Myers on Friday morning, according to court records viewed by The Post.
Trump shared a lengthy post Thursday on Truth Social, calling out the “animal” responsible for the grisly killing.
In the same post, he included an uncensored clip of the attack, calling it “one of the most vicious things you will ever see.”
“To my fellow Republicans, and frankly all Common Sense Americans, NEVER FORGET that Joe Biden and the Democrat Party turned the United States of America into a dumping ground,” Trump seethed.
“Please say a prayer for this innocent woman’s family. We will ensure quick and severe JUSTICE is served in this case!” he added.
The president noted that he wouldn’t recommend watching the 20-second footage capturing the victim’s last moments, but thought he “had an obligation to put it up so that people can see what Democrats are protecting.”
In the harrowing video, Jaochin can be seen pounding the windshield of a black SUV in the gas station parking lot before the victim, an employee of the gas station, walks out of a nearby storefront and says something indiscernible to him. --->READ MORE HERE
