More than two years after he escaped from the Stockfarm State Prison for the third time, 36-year-old murder convict Steven Alphonse of Belles is still at large as efforts by prison officials and the police to find him have so far proved futile.
Alphonse is among four prisoners who escaped from the facility in recent times and who have not yet been apprehended, Acting Prison Superintendent, Raphael Catin, revealed on Friday at the closing of the May Criminal Assizes.
Alphonse was serving a 40-year sentence for the vicious murder of a young woman.
He escaped on January 27, 2010 when prisoners were engaged in extracting coal from a coal pit between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:40 p.m., with time off for lunch.
Prison officials noticed that Alphonse was missing when there was a change of shift and a head count was conducted.
He was initially sentenced to death in 1993, but appealed the case and in 2007 the sentence was commuted to 40 years.
In a previous escape, Alphonse made his way to Guadeloupe where he stayed for some time before he was deported to Dominica.
He has been described as ‘dangerous’ by law enforcement in Dominica.
The other prisoners on the loose are Bert Williams who escaped in December 2010; Danny Auguiste who escaped in October 2011 and Dexter Baptiste who escaped in November 2011.
Still missing? Seems like he eats people for a living. Check those chompers on mister!
aye yesterday i give mister a $200 to deal with a scene for me. he suppose to check me tomorow.
my god find the man nor
they spot him on a bicycle always selling stuff in pointe near the wharf
What? They should have been in chains and shackles, on their waist and ankles while working. They may be conducting criminal offences in DA.
I hope that they are not overseas. If not, some people in Dominica are hiding them. If caught, may they never escape.
Reinstate the death penalty!
You men, God knows where you are. You may escape from the DA Law but you did not escape from God’s Law.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, on that day, when you die, He will find you (everyone) and mete out His just recompense to you (them). You will not escape from God, His wrath and judgment. You better turn yourself in, otherwise…Those who may be hiding you will be equally responsible.
to much long comments.
mister in pointe in antigua, someone spot mister there
actually that might be quite possible cos they have a wharf in the Pointe that have limited border security
I think this is ridiculous and embarrassing.
My only thought on this is to implement a law whereby if an inmate escapes from jail he / she should get life imprisonment. If they then escape again they should be terminated.
They seem to be making a mockery of the judicial system.
Terminated? Who do you think you are Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Yuu are correct. The death penalty should be reinstated.
The prison governor has to do more to make sure that the inmates has no chance of escaping. In 2010 one escape and for another two to escape in 2011 a month apart that’s not good. If the governor is not up to the job he should step down and let someone who is more into keeping prisoners behind bars do the job, his officer must be unpaid and show no interest in what the convicts are upto. The Prime Minister need to have a hard look at what’s happening in the prison system with security.
i really don’t understand how prisoners escaping from that prison. and this is his third time? my goodness!!!!! Mr have inside contacts man? Well you all will not find him again at all. this time he maybe further than guada!!
So did they ever catch G…h?? all u forget he escape from prison it must be over 10 years now, and he has never been caught? Mr maybe married and living a good life somewhere overseas, say sar mem! that other one, two years he escape and still havent been caught? That is it, another one that sharpay! Only in Dominica.
dat man hiding up in d hills up roseau side between canefield and roseau he is being brought stuff so he survives and he has a hell of a pl;antation of stuff to supply weed hungry fellas so daz how he pays em to keep it a secret
So if you self know all that, why aren’t you saying anything?Stupes, smh. Best you hush!
@ PUSS
I wonder if they also gave him a laptop so he can read the news. All things will come to an end someday. He will not live forever. He will die. Will they bury him there too? As I have stated, he will not escape God’s eternal punishment and banishment.
I certainly would not want to be in his position, always looking over the shoulder and wondering if law enforcement will catch up with him. This is not a happy and peaceful way to live. His end will come. Let us pray for him to be caught.
miraclechild
:Glad i can tune in to what’s going on back ah yard,but what am hearing apart from other things is not good at all,that prison escape has my head spining,so nobody thinking money pass,things so hard i hear in DA.
someone explain to me how a man can make two attempts to escape after being convicted for murder and be extracting coal in the coal mines
I cah understand that!
so becuase u escape 2 time. you have to be lock down for the rest of ur life. “cat” ofa prisoner come in. he build back his trust and lower his cat to from the E list prisoner to a CAT C or D prisoner
Yes you should be locked up with only one hour of supervised exercise.
It’s alright, you’ll get better one day. English was difficult for me too, but with time I mastered it. Keep your chin up!
rasta, do you know anything about the Law?
The guy was given the opportunity and he took it, point blank, the police was never looking for him because he spent good time up in Bells up in Zion and another good portion of time in Morne Prosper by his father,had they been looking they would have found him a long time ago… But then again d/ca police if it was rum they was looking for they would have found it..Anyways I haven’t seen or heard about him in a while so im thinking he move out,check around his sister in Guadalupe, Marie-Galante or Martinique he will surely surface..
you really dont make any sense.he committed a henious crime,he was arrested n charge,convicted.now are u telling me he escaped from prison 3 times by prison guards n now police have to go n look for him again.why dont u say is a joke that a man who cut off a child’s neck shouldnt have been in out in the open cutting wood with the same cutlass he used instead u talking crap..let the prison officers who let him loose go look for him.
@ Langsal .. you really sound like your lang is sal for true
Before you say anything dat not right , get your fact straight ok
In these days now is not only Haitian and Spanish dat Taking back door
So to tell you the truth Dominican are all over the corner taking backdoor
and for the past two years there was a boat dat over turned in the caribbean sea in Tortola there were many Dominicans and so on ,.,.,. Can you imagine who dat has helped help her out although all you bad talking the Haitian people
A Haitian man left the Island to go to the funeral of one of them , he gave her money to buy stuffs and also he was the one to pay the ticket for her to get herself back in Dominica.
So please even if Haitian taking back they go and work but dominican go backdoor to go steel people things and then full up the boat and cmoe back dominica,.,.., so once again get your fact straight before you want to have yourself in Problem
The boat which over turned in Tortola, them people were Haitians with Dominica’s passport, last year when they caught the Haitian former Astaphan worker residing in Trafalgar together with his wife and them other Haitians in Guadeloupe, they were carrying both their Haitian passport and DA’s
His wife was deported back to DA and he was caught with over fifty thousand dollars he is in jail in Guadeloupe, after serving his time he will be deported back to DA
I know that there are many Haitians in DA and outside DA carrying Dominican people name, I meet a few in Guadeloupe and them have the nerve to tell me that they came backdoor from Dominica with Dominica’s passport
So you pure natural also need to get your facts straight, the Haitian residing in Trafalgar also had his own boat, smuggling people to Guadeloupe
@ Thomas
Why do you not report it to the Guadeloupe and Dominica authorities? You should not keep this quiet. Could be also your name and that of your family and friends.
Sound like you are a Haitian, I would like to know according to you, ‘quote and quote” (so once again get your fact straight before you want to have yourself in Problem}.
I would like to know what problem, why threatening people, is it voodoo,etc, If you are a Haitian go back to your country, Dominica and Dominicans are the only ones tolerating you people
Of course, he or she is a Haitian. Now that he can speak the Crown language,he is sending bad words to the dominican people. Some black sheep go to steal people things but u haitians steal people’s lives by kidnapping them right at your backdoor for a few gourdes. I don’t understand why is Dominica accepting those people. They only speak creole and can’t read or write, only dirtying the little country’s name. They must go back to their country,give them some breadfruits plants and other trees to help their country.
Percy the chick had a fall
Chick, chick, look up
Up, up, up, up, up
Down, down, down, down, down
Come down, Percy
Sorry. I could not resist
the law enforcement officers in dominica need to do better. just yesterday a police vehivle was stolen> can u imagine?
Tell me the truth, you joking right ???
The security system at stock farm is a bloody joke, the warden should resign immediatly it happened on his watch and he should take the blame.
so he escaped between 8:30 and 5:40 ? seriously? lol ….2 questions..who was watching those guys? were they sleeping or watching porn? hahaha
But they know where all the Ganja planters growing their weed.
seriosly?!!!? for the third time?! no man mister stretching the joke.when/if allu find him,give him life imprisonment!!
Eh Eh they need to just finish with his race cuz he will try it again. And i doe think they will ever get mister again, mister maybe change his real identity or something, 2yrs weee they say mister missing where they gettin him again.D/A police eh ready yet.
If they had broken his neck when he was convicted for the brutal killing of that young woman, he would be long forgotten, now he is being fed by the tax payers, he excapes
Are you really suggesting more imprisonment? I think if he’s caught again that he should be terminated.
what that bothers me is that between eight thirty and five something, wat ever the time was, only one head count. awa
If Alphonso is a frequent escapee she should not
be in no yard to any. A person serving 40 years fo
for murder should be in solitary confinement. To
me this is carelessness.
so true my friend
Them prison officers let the man go.
I like that lol
mister have prison officers allowing him to escape..no doubt
they breaking into the prison much more for breaking out
that is so true because the prison officers giving the prisoners their cars or jeeps to go to roseau and check their seen and come they alone that know how they getting paid.(drop the soap)
he dangerous but he escape TWO years ago for the THIRD time?! me doth think it’s time for a security system upgrade no?
If the prison is so small compare to other countries, why is it that so many of them are escaping?? Are the gaurds not doing their jobs by paying attention?? Just wondering.
I will tell you why. When they take these guys out to work they give them free ups. I was working on my farm and bumped into one of them under my Grapefruit tree. Deep inside my private property far from the view of the rest of them picking Jelly Coconut. I asked him who he was and why was he under the bush at my farm? He said the Boss Man let him go to smoke a little Weed. Lucky for me he wasn’t dangerous and he was actually polite. But when I looked down at the location of the rest of them I hope to tell you, I was glad it wasn’t the Partner climbing the tree that they gave a free up! Only in Dominica! Awa Oui!
gun what u need a big explantion????????????????????
See the man face boy… If his woman that give him the ticket she should do his time.
That whole thing about prisoners out working and they are dangerous is a big joke stupssss!!!!!
Yeah talk alll you don’t know what is the story or what that happen,but shut up people that open there mourth for nothing!
i will want see all you in he’s place,but he have a familly that LOVE hem.
i think i know misterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
yes is true controller is his nick name from portsmouth
What else is new? Well its lunch time and I am hungry can I go up jail and eat his lunch? After all I paying taxes. I hear the food is good there………
That is just ridiculous..if he was deported from Guadeloupe then the Police here should have apprehended him one time at whichever port he landed.
if this man escaped two years ago. He cant be in DA still. If he is then friends and relatives hiding him. furthermore, why is a convicted killer out of the prison yard? with a 40 year sentence, he has nothing really to lose so partner will always try to escape. this place mad.
this man long leave DA, police should be looking for him in the neighbouring islands,someone must know his wareabout
Put a ransom on him and i will bring u to him. He not bothering me nor my family of anybody for that matter, so show me how badly u want him (thanks for the “thumbs down” to the people who are going to put them)
(no cash no spla**) lol
he can’t be bothering you when he’s side you at night time.
The police should go get you,
when he ready to bother or kill somebody again I hope it’s you he doing first.
i know two og em and i sure both not dominica i saw alphonsus like last year when i get a ride on a car… and dexter in saw him gwada last december..matter of fact he got shot three times once to the shoulder, once on his arm and once one the left side of his abdomen dexter is better known as chance pronounced in french. his name fits him well cause he still survived.
You saw both of them, didn’t you know that they escaped from prison to notify the Dominica officials even so the French, too many times some of you like to talk after the facts, they are criminals and no one should assist them or cover up for them you knowing his street name etc, why didn’t you contact the DA police and also the Guada police shame on you
@ Oliver, although with the greatest respect I have for u,I don’t understand why u are mad about kixx. What is the use of wasting time and even money doing what u said,and he to start the whole escaping project again? What was he doing outside, and was he handcuffed? A prisoner like this one should even have his two ankles chained.And should be in very close watch like under a microscope. I didn’t know that the Dominican Justice was so ridiculous and their sightseeing so low. I am sure the other prisoners are making plans to take their feet over their shoulders. Their maps are aimost ready!!!
but i know that he is from possie and he’s hideing in new york
if he is hiding in Queens how did he get out of DA, if that is true the authority need to investigate his family/acquaintances, checked the US embassy if he have relatives in the USA, get the FBI involve and charge those involve in helping him get out of DA
If he’s hiding in New York or furthermore Queens how do you guys know this information? Were you all part and parcel of his escape and or hiding? How did he get out of the country first of all? haven’t the authorities sent out correspondences to the effect that the man is an escaped convict?
To New York: For your information he is not from Portsmouth. If you do not have anything to say say nothing. For your information not all bad things that come from Portsmouth. Someone of us just like to say what we want. I would tell you what part of Portsmouth he from.
From Possie, nah, that man ain’t from Possie. Who is his family in Possie then.
belles village, gleau gommier
he is truely from belles not possie dont spoll possie name
reader yes that does happy every where …..
Plaster their photos all over Dominica.
TERESA all you too bias. When the minister them let controler escape you didn’t ask to plaster controller face all over. As usual all you those pokwit laborites always making excuses for corruption
TERESA WHO? By the way who is controller again? I remember hearing that name as a little girl growing up in Lagoon. Mam/Sir, I have no idea what you talking about.
if this man is so dangerous and serving such long prison term and escaped before what the h*11 was he doing extracting coal?he should have been LOCKED UP!!!
only in Dominica u see prisoners riding in front seat of prison bus with prison officers.
only in dominica u see prisoners escorted from court to jail for life without being handcuffed. even smiling and waving to the press..
the list goes on.
Tell me about it. My sentiments exactly. Clearly he was not even being properly supervised. He escaped between 8:30 a.m. and 5:40 p.m.?? Really?? I’m wondering if anyone was disciplined for this.
its a corrupt system so no was even disciplined.the prison system corrupt.they taking prisoners to their homes to build their houses n work in their garden for them so they allowing them to escape as a gift,ask the one in canefield y they always at his home..can the authorities that be investigate the officers,,its not the police alone we need talk about…
“only in Dominica u see prisoners riding in front seat of prison bus with prison officers.”…
that is NOT a factual statement. Some people who commit murders outside of Dominica does be washing the Prime Minister vehicle outside the jail..i know that for a fact and is something i saw with my two eyes. So it is not only in DA,,,get your facts straight before you print.
They are not prisoners until they have been to prison. Do you mean criminals?
Just like in Tortola
i know that he’s in queens but i don’t know the address but if i know where in queens he’s hiding i’ll call the FBI for him
Wait as a prisoner, Homeland Security dont see ur status from ur country??? damn d.ca weak
really.. how did he get to queens as far as i know you need a visa to to get to the usa. the guy right under there nose and they not seeing it. they need to put out a reward and they will see how fast somebody will turn him in.
how dem haitians and spanish going to st thomas and st croix from possie
But how can a man who escaped from prison reach all the way in Queens?Allu sure about that?This one hard to swallow.Mr had his ticket,passport and money waiting man?Bondyay oi!DA weak wi pal.
you people are idiots!! you expect them to find him and come for him in a big place like the states? to send to little DA? syupes
put a reward on his head..a cash Bounty ALIVE OR DEAD..by any means necessary and trust me he will be found.
I will contact dog the bounty hunter on that .
What is the one in Queens name? Call the FBI and give them the info, they will find him.
Put a cash bounty on his head dead or alive, you will see how fast we catch him!
hey put up there photo so if we see them we can say some thing ….. but there are this guy from post mouth hiding in queens he was sentence to life and he and another guy had the same name so they let him go by mistake and his woman give him a ticket right away and he is in queens new york hiding but if i never know where he is in queens in am giving him the FBI
Call the FBI and hand him over, do so now ( like today!!!!) if you are serious!
I’m confused. What do you mean he and someone else had the same name and they let him go by mistake? Nah … our system can’t be hopeless. Nahhh
that makes no sense to me also…he had same name with someone and was released in ERROR??????????? a joke that right?
i guess that the only lucky dominica that can pass through with immgration at SJU
