An investigation has been launched into a shooting incident at Mahaut which has left one Canefield man nursing serious injuries at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital (DCFH).
On the morning of March 25, 2022, at 10:30 a.m., Kian Laudat of Bena Ravine Canefield received two gunshot wounds to his back.
“Information received indicated that Kian Laudat was on his property at Curry Rest Road, Mahaut when a young male riding a motorcycle stopped to have a conversation with him,” acting Superintendent of Police, Leanna Edward reported.
She added, “An argument ensued which led to the young man discharging two rounds at Kian Laudat and robbed him of five gold chains valued at EC $30,000 and fled the scene.”
According to Edwards, Laudat is currently a patient at the DCFH in a “serious but stable condition” and is expected to undergo surgery.
She further issued an appeal to anyone with information that could solve this crime to contact Police Headquarters 611-5100/6115158 or the Mahaut Police Station 4491460 and Crimestoppers at 1-800-808477.
I know everyone have a right to wear what they want, but why are some people wearing so many chains rings etc. That just drawing attention to others looking for a chance to rob them.
and that’s what you get when ppl have been taught to be lazy for an entire generation. when they weren’t taught the value in a fair day’s work. that is what you get.
Everyone in Dominica should be most concerned about the escalating crime rate. Criminals must feel the weight of the law and the collective wrath of the citizens.
All crimes should be pursued with vigour and determination to reduce it to negligible levels. Not only gun and other heinous crimes but white collar crimes also. There are many cases of corruption by top civil servants that are yet to go before the court. Why these protracted delays?
Blue collar crimes and white collar crimes should be pursued with equal fervour and velocity. Justice is supposed to be blind. In Dominica, justice favours the rich and the politically well connected. Where there is no justice, the population becomes restive and lawless. Dominica is rapidly becoming a haven for criminals.
I can’t understand the Parliament Representative of this village is a past police officer and understand his watch the village and the Police Force that he is responsible for is at its worst.
It tells how incompetent this man is. I guess enjoying the company of the young vulnerable are more a priority than the progress and uplifting of the village.
Shame, Shame Shame!!!
This vibes is becoming usual…y? Those are the one who are represented by the lawers…and will get u out and all cost, land gold or just work 4 me….but ….remember we can’t go heaven with it…oh u gready ppl…listen the word of God….material things are 4 a time….this place is a nursery for breeding guns……oh u lawers…when u die u are only passing what you achieved to your children what u achieved will eventually be perished….wipe away b4 your eyes b4 u die…..oh ppl of barbelon…..
We ought to be lucky that these thugs can’t shot straight like marksmen otherwise the streets would have become rivers of blood.
Happy that the victim’s life has been spared. Hoping someone witnessed what transpired and is in the possession of relevant information that could put the perpetrator away for a long time.
Look at the time of day this attempted murder occurred. When criminals could unload their bullets in broad daylight, this speaks volumes about the state of criminal activity in the country.
When a government is dishonest, corrupt and criminal, the country becomes a cesspool of criminal activity.
Oh, our once peaceful Dominica, some have transformed you to a savage beast.
