A Dominican was shot and killed in Gaudeloupe, media in the French island is reporting.
According to the French newspaper France-Antilles, police have identified the man as 55-year-old Raphael Bellot and DNO was reliably informed he is from a village in the northern part of Dominica.
The man’s body was discovered on the roadside by a motorist about midnight on Thursday bathed in blood in the Grand Bois area of Gosier.
The police have confirmed he died from bullet wounds. The police also reported the man had wounds on his arms and abdomen.
Residents in the area reportedly told police they heard the sound of gunshots and a vehicle speeding off just before the body was found.
No one has been arrested and investigations are ongoing.
Meanwhile police in the French island up to Sunday have not identified a man who was shot and killed on Wednesday and who many believe is a Dominican.
According to France-Antilles the man was killed on Wednesday night in Capesterre-Belle-Eau. The police report that no proof of identity was found on the man and the tenant of the apartment he was living in didn’t know much either.
Although many people are reporting the victim is from Dominica, the police have not confirm this and has designated him as ‘X.’
An autopsy is to be carried out on the dead man on Monday.
RIP uncle you will surly be missed, i am gonna miss them early Saturday morning calls you use to give
see you on the other side. also RIP to his son “my cousin” who got shot last year
such a close friend. R.I.P BELLOT
why doesnt the french like dominicans? ask the guys and gals who go to the people country and steal their stuff and deal drugs its been happening for decades, and they will never like us until those thugs stop their criminal activities.
nowadays so many dominicains are living in Gwada and are integrated in the social life without you can see ant difference between gwada or them. Manager of my bank is a youg lady with dominicans parents. So why are we staying on that thinking of racism coming from another century. Today Dominica and gwada have to put themselves together to struggle aginst deviances and to give our younth a common future. Never forget that if gwada has a high developpement comparing to his neighboring island, it is due to its belonging to french republic, but their is not local power except for some matters. I am from gwada and I love dominica and my dominicans people who are often with me in gwada or in dca
not all guadeloupe people are bad and racist there are alot of good people there that would help you more than alot of of dominicans and the time they were beating dominicans in guadeloupe was the time when dominicans were doing alot of crimes there killing rapeing and stealing and dont forget the drugs thats what they doing so when you people say bad things about other people check your selfs first.
My sympathy to my cuz… on the loss of her father…
DNO: “Meanwhile police in the French island up to Sunday have not identify…” (Meanwhile police in the French island up to Sunday, have not identified… is correct) Are there two unrelated stories reported in the same column, if so, why can’t it be made clear so people don’t get confused?
What can i say? you live by it, you die by it, but atleast they should not kill him like that because be as it may, Bellot was a nice fella, he chose to live his live by drugs and trickery, so it is, but he should not have had to die like dat… so sorry for ma nelly and the rest of the family, his mother must be bawling…. alas, when we talking to our children and they not hearing, alas papa god.
it was so sad when the community of Delices found out that one of our own was gunned down in guadeloupe..its funny that he hasnt been identified yet cause everyone up here knows about it…RIP SMITTEE
RIP to you Cuz. You chose this life, no one knows or will understand why. But knowing you, you knew the consequences, but continued. I loved you dearly, your family spoke to you about leaving this life, but you refused, thus the consequences. For those who did not know you, will never know of the other side of you which I knew, so loving. RIP my dear. Aunty \nelly and all, hold strong, God is in control. He never gives us more than we can bear.
d man was in drug business for years and years so he should have known that this would one day happen to him and he wasnt found 2 days after he was shot they found him early in the morning next to the highway same thing happned to his son who got shot in a drive by. sorry everyone but i only feel sorry for his family that are in pain right now but not him. this is his owne fault for thinking that being involved in illegal activities would take him far and make his life better now he only made his family suffer from the evil choice he made. no matter what situation you are in, selling drugs and making other people suffer is no way or excuse to make your self prosper.
The name Guadeloupe only bring back bad memories. I hated this place and never quite understand why Dominicans would go there. I guess this feeling started when I was very young and my oldest brother went there to find work.Not sure how every started but there was some sort of riot and the french police would chace, capture and beat Dominicans so badly, then ship them back home like they were animals. Well my brother was one of those beaten and deported back to Dominica, he did nothing to be beaten like that. I wish my peope would never go there, most of the french people treat us like second class citizens, But again I understand the employment situation in Dominica for young people, most trying to find a way out.
This is true, Guadaloupe people are racist and prejudiced and the black ones think they’re white…
What a stupid place…
The Haitians in Guadeloupe are more racist towards Dominicans than the Guadeloupe French people
Whenever a Dominican male/woman get employed in Guadeloupe, who are the ones causing them to loose their jobs in Guadeloupe, Haitians, they will go back to the employer and offer to do the work for less money, i had the experience working with a few of them in Guadeloupe, so racism towards Dominicans in Guadeloupe my friends have to do with them Haitians
But is so all treating haitian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ADMIN: The man’s name is Raphael Bazil better known as Bellot from Capuchin. He is 55 years old.
Thanks for correcting DNO, i was about to do that. Bellot should have known that would be his fate, “You live by it, you die by it”. Rest in peace my padna, because on the other side of the fence, you were a nice fella to those who you loved
Dno, was there something wrong with my comment ? I can’t see it ….I said his body was found 2 days after he died and that his son was shot in the head sometime l
sorry bout that…His son was shot in the head sometime last year…and he’s from the Clifton area ….WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THAT ?????
To be exact, Capuchin, not Clifton as I knew the guy very well
they found him the next day. the man that was found two days after is the one the call x
Life is precious and we should do our utmost to preserve life from conception to natural death. This includes our very own God-given precious and allotted earthly life.
It is too bad and sad that he was murdered. This is a life lost and gone forever. First of all what type of life did he live in Guadeloupe and who did he associate with? Was he involved with bad company and any shady actions? This is not yet revealed.
We must think prior to commenting. ‘Some people’ are always blaming the government for not creating jobs. This is a worldwide situation. Everyone knows the saying, “God help those who help themselves”. I will add, legally.
Do you not realize that business owners are the ones to create jobs? If there is a market for new jobs, then they will be created. At this time how many jobs and what types of jobs can be created in Dominica? Furthermore, it takes a lot of thinking, discussing, planning and money to create new jobs.
Specifically in this era, migrating is not always the answer. In addition some people migrate to other countries or visit other countries and while there they do not live a law-abiding life. Those countries are also experiencing unemployment. Times have changed and are not what it was in years gone by. They may migrate to seek job opportunities only to find out that they are unable to obtain same. Should they blame the government of that country and their government in their land of birth for their unemployment status?
Then, there are those who depend on their own understanding and strength and never seeking the help of God as some do not worship Him. What do they expect?
Dominica has a lot of waste land (I hope) and people can till the land and grow all sorts of vegetables for sale and earn a good, clean, progressive and successful living while they are still young, healthy and capable of working. Progress and success result from hard work and sweat.
The problem is ‘some of them’ are not ambitious and do not want to work hard. They prefer the easy life and getting quick money. This could result in loss of their life.
This guy has been living in Guada for the past 25yrs.please tell me which government one can blame for him being there? Three governments reigned and passed and he was still there
@ B.E.B.
Wow! He was residing in Guadeloupe for 25 years? I wonder how he lived, what he did and what happened that he was murdered.
DNO should try to get the full story. Too often when we read such stories we may have a wrong notion of the cause and even blame the victim. It pays to know the truth.
r.i.p may God bless him and God guidance to his family. he have a child in penville lets pray for he and the rest of the family
How can you say it is a problem between french and dominican people if investigations dont show out the crime motives? Who tell you the murderer is a french man. before you make any accusation let the “gendarmerie” do is job…
Papamet!!!!! I am in shock
im not saying all but majority of all them da man they kill in gwada is because of drug sin but with all them killings they still not learning instead of going there to sell drugs try getting a work to do or get a good woman and organise your self.
is not gwada man dont like da man is when u oweing somebody or u like fooling ppl when they get tired of your games they go take you out of the business.
yes but their turn will come. dominicans doing
Rest in Peace Bellot. My deepest sympathy to his daughter and grand Children. ( he is not from Penville but his daugheter is from Peville)
this is drug related,he has been in trouble before or rather on several occasions, seems like the only way to stop those criminals,and their criminal activities, he don,t live in the area, so what was he doing there at that time of the night?
REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND U ARE IN A BETTER PLACE MY SYMPATHY GOES TO THE FAMILY IN CAPUCHIN
so sad.Solange be strong.
Say one say two, no one deserve to be gun down and left on the sidewalk to die like a dog without a master, the same is happening in Dominica, them people committing them murder need to put themselves in the victim’s family shoe to see how they are feeling, and ask him or herself how they would feel if someone gun down their relative, this is pure wicked and heartless
Sad, RIP
he is better known as “BELLOT” in guadeloupe.
R.I.P Bellot. You were such a friendly man… And to those of u who’re always QUICK TO JUDGE, Pause before you judge. COUNTING OTHER PEOPLE’S SIN DOES NOT MAKE YOU A SAINT!!
Oh oh … I frighten. Thought is my day !!!! To the wanna jo jo I don’t think ur the real one stop acting like you no her !!!! Sut!!!!and for ur information penville have. No such names!!
hmmmmm… eh beh!!
i guess the french government is responsible for crimes in gwada because every crime that take place in Da is skerro dat caused it.
CYM pa FEE to his family !!!!!!
Guadeloupe’s Population – 400,000
Dominica’s Population – Under 70,000
A difference of 330,000
How can we use crime in Guadeloupe to justify crime in Dominica?
Why do we have to make our self sound so dumb to defend the FACT that we have a selective police force and judicial system, the FACT that there is alot of political interference in the police force and judicial system, the FACT that many “at the top” have NO MORAL AUTHORITY to complain about crime.
Why are we trying to run away from that the moment crime takes place in another country?
Did the PM not make the no law, including the constitution statement?
Did the Officials in Guadeloupe make a statement like this too? lol
Oh boy..Happy Father’s Day…I’m off to a brunch!
You need to understand something, you are entitled to your opinion but not your so called facts.Why is it you express opinions without getting your facts correct.You sound like the typical political activist who says to hell with facts! We need stories.
Some of us sound like useless stuck records. PM dis! PM dat! No matter how often you say something does not make it true. Instead tell the criminals what they are doing is wrong and they should find another lifestyle.
You are encourageing the carnage by finding excuse for the culprits and shifting blame to somebody else. Stop it!
When you do wrong and go before God, tell him that the PM did it so you did it too and see where it takes you.
maybe its the other way round? Maybe if he was at home grasping the opportunities abound rather than in another man country hustling for scraps, would he have been alive now??
who knows?
lol @ “Opportunities abound”
(wiping tear from eye),”ohhh boy, good one”
day redy no french man doe like dominicans,i doe no why day goin dere 4.
in all fairness if crab don’t walk it don’t eat.
If crAB DONT WALK IT DONT GET CATCH EITHER.
and………………………..?????
Skerrit do something for Dominicans, create jobs in Dominica so our people would not have to go to foreign lands to survive.
No jobs…Just dress all in Red and go to the Red Clinic, on your knees and answer yes master.
U must be some fool. No where in the world have jobs.
Before Hon. Skerrit people was going overseas so come better than that.
During Mamo reign a calypsonian said “I’d rather jump on a pwe-pwe and go Guada than remain in DA”
What Skerrit has to do wiith that? Dominicans ha e been migrating to Guadeloupe since l’année canale… Stop putting politics into everything. You guys are the ones killing Dominica!!!!
Homeboy: « Stop putting politics into everything. You guys are the ones killing Dominica!!!!»
Well said.
before skerritt dominicans was going to guada and it wasnt skerritt that send them neither is he that sending them ti commit illegal act in any foreign land. create job they still leave, so create some and alloww them to come home, it would be great for the country.
none sense you know how long that man up dear chupes. thought all u say things was better before yet he have more than 20 yrs there. I pray for his son the most your father is gone please stay positive.
I agree with you 100% ..
They found his bady 2 days after he was killed…He’s from the Clifton area …His son was also shot in the head sometime last year….RIP Bro
there is also a Dominican dead in Capesterre he was shot also as well but no one has identified the body hope they can slove those crime
when dat happen?
Stay in all you country! sot
You all embracing the Haitians coming to DA, they do not want to see us Dominican in Guadeloupe they were treating us worst than the Guadeloupe people years gone by and still doing the same, cause they keep saying that they speak French and we are English people, they no better than us in Guadeloupe, why do you think they flee to DA, so if you asking Dominicans to stay in Dominica tell them Haitians to go back to Haiti
Happy Father’s Day to all DA men in Guadeloupe, Dominica and all over the world
RIP homz….. man i can see your face clearly hope you find peace. Gone but not forgotten.
many risk their lives in search of the “better”.
but when u have meager opportunity and level that against education and cost of living, what else is supposed to come from that recipe. you cyant give the food so mucha salt and no expect it to be salty my yout…..
