As further attention was paid to a mysterious alleged kidnapping case on Tuesday, not even a passionate plea by criminal lawyer Zena Moore Dyer could persuade senior magistrate Ossie Lewis to grant bail to Shirley Allan who is before the court on a charge of “kidnapping.”
Allen was in court on Tuesday as her lawyer sought to convince the magistrate to grant bail to her client.
“It’s unfortunate that this lady should suffer the consequences of the ineptness of the police in their investigations,” Dyer told the court.
According to the attorney, the police were in search of two other persons who resided in the nearby French territory and who had been at the police station assisting them in their investigations.
“They were there……and gave the police all details but were allowed to leave the island, they have no evidence on this lady and she should be granted bail,” Dyer stated, pacing up and down the court room.
However police prosecutor, Inspector Michael Laudat told the court in response that, “while everyone has a right under the constitution, the police are still in search of the missing kidnapped persons.”
“We are still investigating and seeking information of the missing persons and we fear that if bail is granted they will interfere with our investigations,” Laudat stated.
Magistrate Lewis described the matter as a very serious one.
“They have no idea where the missing persons are…and if they are alive or dead, this is a very serious matter and on a balance I will not grant bail to her,” he stated.
According to the police, a foreign national and a local are also being pursued as suspects in the case.
Deon Hakim Alfred and Leon “Dopie” Joseph, whose whereabouts are still unknown, were allegedly kidnapped on March 10th, 2012 in Yampiece.
The Head of the Criminal Investigations Department, Superintendent Daniel Carbon, says the local suspect is from Yam piece – the other one, he says, comes from abroad although he did not specify what country that second suspect is from.
The police admit not knowing the whereabouts of the two missing young men Alfred and Joseph.
Five individuals have already been charged with “unlawfully and forcefully kidnapping” the two.
The five are: Jan Bedminster, Kimon Beaupierre, Dilon Alexander, Desmond Phillip and Shirley Allan.

A picture tells a thousand words, just watch de lady picture and read the rest
but u cannot judge a book by its cover
some ov u’ll do nt think before speakin…
it could hv been all u very own Siblings tht missing…so think
A few days ago I was wondering what happened to the two men who were kidnapped and were they ever found. It is so sad what happened to them and that they have not yet been found. My words are insufficient to describe those who kidnapped them including their accomplices. Such wicked people.
Kidnapping people, depriving them of their freedom and life are atrocious crimes against humanity which should be punishable by a life sentence without parole if there is no hanging.
Boy Dominica is getting crazy, you mean grown adults with common sense and children that doing these things.
This lady is a mother, why would you hurt someone else’s child?
The parents need to know what happen to their children…..good or bad, they need some answers….this thing has already been delayed enough…..I pray that the boys are safe.
DNO where are pictures? DA police where are pictures? If suspects are out there, show us their pictures like America most wanted, who knows, somebody might spot them and tip the police off. Show some photos, offer a pay-off, you never know.
So you are saying , to every time they talk about the kidnapped young men, they should post up their pictures? If you were reading DNO, you would have seen their pictures already posted
monkey the observer mean the two that the police is seeking,which i think is a police lapse to let them go,backwards policing,in a high profile case like that,you allowing two people of interest to actaully live the island before finding the victims.
THE PERSON IS NOT TALKING ABOUT THE KIDNAPS..THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SUSPECT! THE MURDERERS THEN..SO YH READ AND UNDERSTAND!
commonsense,that is if the jokers at police force took their photos.
Exactly for what did all those people kidnap those young men i want to know.By the way that family seems to be cursed for life.I pray that one child break that curse in jesus name.
I hope she run into Denny so Denny can advise her to tell the COPS everything, speak the truth and the COPS will tell her she is lying.Once that is done she will be off the hook.
Oh by the way I hope Tony Astaphan find the two people of interest so he can interview them on the coushoni show. Yah give me the thumbs down you bunch of hypocrites.
While you forming the thumbs down ask the COPS about the birth certificates and passport scammers – why the other people besides the three that was arrested are not charged. DNO will not allow me to call names but when the septic tank explode morne que hele soukou.
Jah alone tht knows…only Jah

We wonder whether waterboarding would work.
AFTER SHE HELP IN DE DISAPPEARANT OF DE PEOPLE CHILDREN,SHE LOOKIN BAIL.WOMAN WHAT MAKE YOU DO THAT?
Bail for murder charges? Given the easy access to neighboring Islands, bail should not be granted in this case. Furthermore, the investigation can be compromised by letting these criminals out.
Come on my people do u all really think that these guys alive…give me a break
the lady look like a real criminal on that mug shot so i think she need to stay right where she be no bail not now not ever
Very Good
I’m Happy to hear tht…NO bail…..
WHOSSSSSSSSSSSSSS but she know the what happen to those people children.. GOOD Keep her behind behind bars cause she know well what happen and have a part in the where abouts of those people children.. Just saying
mr administrator can u please post my comment a young man from grand fond was brutally assaulted by another guy with a bottle and he has lost his eye that news never made DNO the guy who have lost his eye up to this present time the police have not got a statement from him but the other guy because his father is a cop is free so wat is the chief of police doing about that
Dreadlocks, you need to get your facts straight before posting on DNO’s page….the young man’s father is NOT and I repeat NOT a cop…so be clear of your facts….don’t just say what you want, and by the way where is my little village, Grand Fond fitting in all of this!! Isn’t it Shirley they are speaking about?
dominican cant you read? i just want to know why such a crime was posted i asked the administrator if he/she could post my comment they did so what the @@@ you talking about when crimes happen the people should know about it BALDHEAD
what is there to dislike in this comment. if this injured person was your brother son or father wouldn’t you want justice?
dreadlocks right… only thing is that is de fella uncle that is the cop. Sir Carrette get the La Plaine police to do something quick. The man really loose his right eye
well they police have to prove that these guys were kidnapped and it is apparent that they are having a hard time proving that…
Actually they are NOT having a hard time, on the contrary. The woman already told police it was her daughter and her man that took the guys. She admitted to being on the vehicle but now she’s refusing to speak further. I would pull her damn fingernails out until she start talking. Her excuse is that she was on the scene but she is not the one who harmed the young men. She’s fool hardy to believe if she doesn’t speak up then they’ll let her go and her daughter will not face jail, mistake number one.
Thank you. Before your comment I was actually feeling sorry for that woman. I hope they keep her up there long enough for her beard to com long like Bin laden. hehe
@ stoic
It is not a matter of the police have a hard time proving that. It is known that they were kidnapped. Where are they? What did they do with them? Those who kidnapped them and those who are accomplices are all murderers.
God knows where they are and what happened to them and who are the ones responsible for these heinous acts against their fellow Dominicans. Heartless people. None deserve to be granted bail.
Dear Admin
What is the email address for Dear Bella?
ADMIN: [email protected]
@ inquiry
Planning to write her? We are waiting to read your comments.
Don’t tell us more of your untrue story
give them life sentence, what they think this is a joke or what? let them find the people children before granting them any bail. for now NO BAIL.
u nt seriouus
Correct! This is what should be done. They deprived two people of their freedom and who knows, their life. If they are not found, their captives and probable murderers and accomplices should never be granted bail. They should never see the daylight of Dominica except through the prison windows, if they do. They do not deserve freedom.
no man is an island i hope when your time come u can face de music …he without sin case the first stone
My friend Mano,that statement, ‘is an island, I hope when your time come u can face de music’!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother, that sounds to me like a direct threat to the person, whether you know who they are or not!! If you feel that your mother is not deserving of where she is right now then say so but that language which you have used just sounds like you are sealing her fate. It brings to mind the saying, ‘like father, like son’ which can be used in this situation……Like mother, like son!!!
The lady has a sexy body but her face give me the creeps
WHERE BODY COMING OUT IN THAT!…AND WAT BODY NA MAM HARDEN,GET YR FACTS STRAIGHT!ASK HER TO STRIP AND U’LL SEE BODY..YOU MUST DROP!ROLE! AND COVER..HOPE U HAVE LEGS TO RUN!!!!!
please someone tell me where is DA heading because every day is a different story peolpe dispearing and not even the police have a clue of where to start searching
@ vanassa
With all that bush in Dominica, obviously they really do not know where to search. They cannot be blamed. They have tried and should not give up.
Madame Allan a big woman like u, you end up in that mess shame shame shame on u. Now u will learn from yr mistakes
we all end up in some problem in one way or the other so shut updanziger..today is hers tomorrow is urs. just pray u don’t end up in any problem at all
@ stupes
You are indeed stupes. There are some problems that some people will get into and there are some problems they will never get into. When people associate with the wrong crowd they will obviously get into trouble. Being friends of perpetrators can land them in trouble. This is what happened to that woman with her free will. The best thing to do is to stay away from such people and trouble.
@ stupes will u please shut up. How would you feel if it was yr son or brother.
so why aren’t they saying the names of the other two suspects..de guy that say he is gardakan it is easy to find out his name and his girlfriend she is well known so put their names up..why they keeping it secret. unless they give they police hush money.
but does people was well enjoyin themselves for easter, on d beach in guada, so how police doh know dere wayabouts nah. Does two people not hidin, find dem & bring dem to justice.
If this lady knows anything she should talk now and help find these young men. Put this to rest once and for all and in the process they will probably go lieneint on her.
some ppl just want to commit crimes and go scott free live her in jail until she talks she look like she no wat happen to these boys woman put ur self in those boys mother place no mother should be suffering how these boys parents suffering. Ms shirley if i was in ur place i would do some serious soul searching.
This is a story that has to be kept on the front burners. This is crazy. NO BAIL!!!If your daughter truly loves you tell her come home and face the music and bring her accomplice! where are the young men? When you make up your mind to talk the law will consider your plea
NO BAIL NO BAIL MY POLICE STILL WORKING ON THE CASE
the key to solving this is finding the frenchman and the woman with the big nissan truck (navarra)
