Discovery of decomposed body and drowning of toddler among matters under investigation by the police

Police investigate body found in vehicle in Roseau

The Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF) is currently investigating the discovery of a body inside a vehicle and the drowning of a toddler in Colihaut. Inspector of Police Fixton Henderson reported that on Saturday, September 16, 2023, at about 3:20 p.m., the decomposed body of an unidentified male individual was discovered in a Rav4 vehicle which was parked on High Street, Roseau in the parking area between the traffic department and the youth development division.

Following the grim discovery, he stated the body was examined and pronounced dead at the scene that same afternoon by a medical doctor and is being kept at a funeral home pending an autopsy.

“The identity of the deceased has not yet been confirmed,” Henderson reported, further stating that the matter is currently under investigation.

Meanwhile, the police have launched an investigation into the suspected drowning of a toddler aged 1 year and six months. Information is that on September 17, 2023, sometime after 12:00 p.m., the toddler was seen by villagers floating in the sea. Dominica News Online (DNO) was informed that he was then rushed to the hospital but attempts made to resuscitate him proved futile and he was later pronounced dead. DNO will continue to follow this story and report any new developments as the investigation unfolds.

    The vagrant population is ballooning. Derelict buildings, abandoned vehicles and the open streets are these people only abode. Not even a hut is built with public funds to house the homeless who have fallen on bad times.

    Meanwhile, Roosevelt, his privileged wife and children, occupy a multi-million dollar chateau at taxpayers expense. The accumulated cost to the country is approximately $ 3 000 000 and counting. How can this be justified?

    Mr. Mp, we rebuke this message. There are prayerful people of Jehovah who prays for this country. Instead of you cussing your country, why don’t you kneel and pray.

    You guys papamet wish the country bad. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, we rebuke and no tongue weapons formed shall prosper against this land. Do you respect the Great Creator who created the heavens, earth and every living creature including men in his own likeness? Well, you would do as he says and love one another and live the judging for God Almighty.

    Did u build this earth or the universe?

    Keep quiet and do as our Father says. Love one another. Let God do his work

      Stupes, Stupes oh what foolishness some people can speak.

      Did you hear yourself? Read your comment again. You are being judgemental without any facts. So, causing all the accidents, deaths etc., all over the world?

      I would like you to answer my question above.

      Hear You! Sorry for yourself and go repent from your deadly tongue. See who cursing the country they say they love.

      See what you call yourself. Don’t you know that the power of death and life lies in the tongue?

      See how you name yourself.

    I challenge anybody to tell me, Mr. Mako Polo, what’s the difference between Dominica and Haiti in terms of their crime situation, their obvious and blatant government corruption, the gangster run government, the witchcraft and Obeah practices, their broad daylight killing and kidnapping, the silencing of the government opposition with fear and murder, the disregard for truth and transparency, the list of the demonic acts and practices of these two countries run parallel to each other. I, Mr. Mako Polo sees no difference. But if the DNO readers and contributers see any difference; then I, MMP would like to know. I’m warning; something terrible will happen in Dominica that will make us speechless with our hands over our mouth and head. It’s coming.

    Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 7 Thumb down 4
