The Dominican man accused of killing 36-year-old Christopher Smithers, a personal trainer in Antigua and Barbuda, has been formally charged with murder.
Police in the twin island state named the suspect as 38-year-old Berle Adolphus Nathaniel Wallace Jr-a Dominican national who migrated to Antigua and now lives in Villa.
According to reports, the men were involved in an altercation on St John’s Street at approximately 6.23pm on Tuesday, during which Wallace Jr armed himself with a sharp object and stabbed Smithers.
Smithers was then rushed to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Center (SLBMC) for emergency treatment, but succumbed to his injury and was pronounced dead at approximately 6.45 pm.
Wallace who is from Wesley appeared before the court Friday and was placed on remand at Her Majesty’s Prisons.
His committal hearing is set for May 12, 2022.
We Dominicans are now being overwhelmed with criminals in Dominica and our government (if there is one) have washed their hands like Pontius Pilate. I’m requesting that Antigua give this Bumm citizenship after he has served his lengthy prison sentence. Our government has cultivated such characters to terrorize their opponents and create panic wherever they go. If he’s allowed to return to Dominica he will be embraced as a Laborite in order to spread fear amongst decent and law abiding citizens and patriots. So please, keep this Laborite in Antigua for life.
Admin,we want to know if IBO apologized before you exposed him,or after you exposed him?If it is after,then your excuse make no sense,because he deliberately tried to mislead people.If it is before then it goes to show that he does not listen to news if it is not fake news.How can a man who profess to know everything apologize by lying about a news item that was aired over and over.Men bet men p
ADMIN: When he submitted his apology we had not yet responded or even moderated his first comment.
Thou shall not kill, they should never let him see daylight again, A family lose a son, father brother and an uncle. May he RIP my sympathy to the family.
@Ibo, you’re such a fake who pretends to be a patriot yet DNO exposed you last week when you claimed Dominica did not support the resolution against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Why do you hate Dominica and Dominicans so much that you would say such a thing? Are you not aware that thousands of readers see the posts made on DNO which could negatively impact any prospective investment in Dominica? Kudos to DNO for letting the world know Dominica’s true position on the matter. Why don’t you try and become a productive citizen instead of spending all your time writing garbage on DNO and trying to drag Dominica’s name in the dirt? Why don’t you for a change offer something positive instead of all your negative vibes? Your entire talk is about a change of government and then Dominica will suddenly become “Heaven on Earth”. Wishfull thinking my friend, wishfull thinking. Let everyone just continue to sit around with hopes that “manna” will start falling from heaven.
ADMIN: Mark, in fairness to Ibo, he did later add a comment recognizing his error and profusely apologized but the comment remained unpublished as it seemed redundant at the time since the correction had already been made.
It was not our intention to give such an impression, so we offer an apology to you and Ibo for inadvertently contributing to any misunderstanding.
Boy all you can embarrass people and give Dominicans bad name wi. Behave nuh! Behave!! If we going to make news, make it good news, positive news, news that we can be proud of as a nation. That’s why when persons post their accomplishments I’m always have to clap cause I prefer that news than this.
Lock him up under ground and throw the keys in the sea too many of these including ugly Lenny, is an embarrassment to us Dominicans home and away for crying out loud we are peafull loving Labour supporters but on the other hand if push comes to shove we will fight to the death make no mistake about that!!!!!
These guys go around committing the most ghastly crimes. They are nothing but cowards. When they are apprehended by the police they usually cry for their mothers. Just look at this one in the company of the police officers.
All you Dominicans brave eh; but I don’t know why all you not going all out to get that wicked, corrupt and evil beast in all you country that destroying everything. Don’t go after people man just go after the Beast
I would even reward them handsomely…
@jackal, you can join with Really are just as BAD birds of the feathers flock together.
@Really , why cant you go after the so call beast yourself. You are just as bad,.
They export their bad ways all over the world!
A product of the king of Wesley,Francisco Etienne-Dog Telemaque.
Francisco is a law abiding citizen. Have you ever seen or heard about him in police custody? The man’s record is unblemished.
Lie Clown leave decent, productive, intelligent citizens alone. Stop try to drag their names through the mud. Go run with your crowd – Dog Abuser, ds, Pea brain KID, Gary, Mark.
Correction, Telemaque is a notorious ‘known-it-all’. He is a jack of all trades and master of none. All he does it talk bull crab. He is a very lonely old man. Typical Dominican.
That is the product of Wesley. They can be murders as well as liars. and they talk a lot of bull like Francisco. They have no respect for priests and Bishops also. They are haters as well. They hate all the good Skerrit is doing for Dominica including building an International Airport in their own backyard. They are also lonely, frustrated, old men. I can only hope and pray that the Roosevelt Skerrit International Airport in Wesley will bring about much needed change in Wesley soon rather than later.
OMG, I knew it all along! They already call that Fata Morgana the Roosevelt Skerrit International Airport. Surprised they omitted Dr. Dr. They Labourites are as crazy as March hares. It’s unbelievable.
Francisco, is no longer a law abiding citizen stop writing your crap just as you are Ibo, shut that septic smelling mouth of yours
Francisco is the worlds third biggest shyster, direct behind Russias Putin and Dominicas Putin.
I wonder where Dominicans commit more crime, foreign or local?
In recent times, I’ve tried to look at the cup as half full instead of half empty concerning criminal incidents involving Dominicans overseas but I have to call a spade for what it is, a spade.These deadly occurrences are much too frequent.
At home and abroad, Dominican males appear to be blood thirsty. It even seems, in these times, Dominicans are inherently predisposed to commit murder. What are the root causes? Is it bad parenting, gang/thug culture, addiction to hard drugs or lack of employment opportunities?
Nothing stops a bullet or lowers the crime rate like a good paying job. Get the young Dominicans involve in gainful employment so many of them can stay and make it in the country of their birth. There will not be this compelling need to migrate to foreign jurisdictions.
Padna just come da and do something for de could try and stop running you mouth whenever you are. You can do something too. We in it together. All now I can migrate but I trying something here others can gain employment with what I do..come down and bring your skills to teach de young men..I tired hear you bray
For the country
