In Suriname, a 64-year-old man identified as A. E. died in a cell at the Centrum police station on August 22, 2026. A physician confirmed the death, and police investigations indicate he died of natural causes.

A. E. had been in custody following an arrest on August 19, 2026, after a months-long manhunt. He was a suspect in the sexual abuse of a 10-year-old girl, with the alleged incidents occurring in the Brokopondo and Paramaribo districts. The case was reported after the child’s foster mother noticed irregularities. Following his arrest, the suspect had reportedly provided a full confession.
