The apartment in Guadeloupe where Guiste's body was found

A man who was shot dead in Guadeloupe and whose identity remained a mystery for days has been identified as Vital Guiste of Delices.

The police in Dominica have reported that Guiste was identified by his cousin.

Guiste was shot dead last Wednesday in Capesterre-Belle-Eau and according to the French newspaper France-Antilles police in Gaudeloupe were unable to say who he was, since he had no identity papers.

The body was found on the first floor of an apartment building with a gunshot wound to the face.
The owner of the apartment reportedly told police that he did not know who the person was since he was not the tenant the apartment was rented to.

A neighbor said she heard an explosion at about 8:00 pm on Wednesday and called the police.

Due to the absence of an identity the body was named ‘X’ by French police.

An autopsy was carried out on the body on Monday.

Guiste is one of two Dominicans shot to death in Guadeloupe last week.

On Thursday night the body of 55-year-old Raphael Bazil, also known as ‘Bellot’, was found on a roadside in Grand Bois.

Investigations revealed he was shot in the arm, flank and abdomen, probably by a 12-gauge shotgun.

He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Investigations are continuing into both killings.

    The truth is that people have NO remorse now a days because for killing some body you only do about 10years jail time. So its like the wild west..

    Too bad that padner had to die like that, whenever we make choises like his, there are consequences to be paid. Some get caught and are jailed, too bad Smithy had to die. Repose en Paix Man.

    What were these guys up to? What is it that precipitated such a hit? Was the no law and the no constitution act their strong hold?

    Imagine! if those killings had taken place in Dominica; there would not be anything left to be said by some amongst us. Thank God the police commissioner`s name is not Cyril Carette. or the person heading the Gov`t is not PM R.S. There would not have water left to wash away those Two Gentlemen. Typical Dominicans.

      god is always there with us and always helping us. it is just that smoe of these guys are rejecting good advise and reject GOD. so you mean they don t see and hear the news of those before them? they don’ t hear the messages on the radio ? are they living on a different planet? if the others walking the same path do ot put water in their wine , they will surcome to the same situation and you will keep on saying GOD help us. like GOD is not helping us. ofcourse he is all the time. are we helping ourselves?
