26-year-old charged with murder of Fond Cole man and attempted murder of two others

Fond Cole murder victim, Wilson Wade

A 26-year-old Fond Cole man now stands charged in connection with Dominica’s 14th murder and attempted murder of two other individuals.

Michael Lewis appeared before Magistrate Michael Laudat today September 26, 2022,  where the charges were read to him. The accused was not required to enter a plea as the matter is an indictable offense and is expected to be heard at the High court before a Judge and jury.

According to the police, on Monday September, 19th,  2022, three Fond Cole men were sitting on a head wall, over a culvert at Glasgow, Fond Cole, when they were apparently attacked and shot by a male individual.

Acting Inspector of Police, Fixton Henderson, reported that Wilson Wade – male 25years old, Sylvester Aabib – male 37 years old and Dylan Francis , male 29 years old, received multiple gunshot wounds. The men were transported to the emergency department of the Dominica China Friendship Hospital. There, Wilson Wade was examined and subsequently pronounced dead by a medical doctor.

At today’s hearing, defense attorney Wayne Norde attempted to put forward a bail application on behalf of Lewis, however, due time constraint, Magistrate Laudat adjourned the bail application hearing for September 28, 2022.

Lewis was remanded in custody until that date.

    Send this loser to the gallows as soon as he’s found guilty. Don’t wait 8,10,15 years when our hearts have been softened to put him out of his misery. Justice needs to be swift so that the victims’ family can have some form of closure. No excuses. We have become too soft as a people. Criminals have been emboldened because of the way justice is handed out. Let us send a strong message so that other persons will think twice before committing murder.

    You are so right Mr Not me alone.Lennox Linton was recorded by Matt Peltier,telling JAH KAS.ES like you that the violence and destruction going on in Roseau on the night of February 7 2017 will not stop,until Skerrit demits office or resign.Pure treason.Let the powers look for awaiting moderation or a reason for disclaimer.

    So you really believe that JAH KA.S is a lawyer.Just imagine no law and no constitution,and it cannot even finish the sentence.No law and no constitution and what?Typical UWP,lying all the way to hell.The lady must have snipers,she should have an army.What these rougues,vagabonds,crooks,traitors arsonists and habitual criminals did to supporters of DLP on February 7 2017, will never happen again.These criminals who burned over $2,000,000 of Dominican property (aviation equiptment for plane)at Captain Bruce must be stopped.

    The culture of crime that our leaders cultivated the last 23 years is so real that when I hear of a murderer in Dominica these days I am no longer in shock, though I must admit that my heart is broken for the victims family as well as the family of the one that committed the crime not even mentioning my once beautiful country that has now become a criminal state., thanks to our current leaders who created that evil culture. Infact our young people don’t even feel sorry when the commit crime as if they are saying Not me alone that doing it…just that there is no law for other

    This is a terrible news. Did the government catch the murderer? He should be punished as soon as possible. I think this guy is a big threat to the nation.

    Lawless Nature Isle! It’s getting worse by the week! What does one expect if the ‘Man in Charge’ regularly uttered: no law and no constitution… and the ‘Woman in Charge’ talks regularly talks about snipers… Here we have it, here is the result!

      Here goes the bums again. Skerrit to blame for everything. As a lawyer, you should be enforcing the law not the police.

        Roosevelt hogs all the glory when things go well. Let’s not forget he alone took all the credit when there was no death in the early stage of the pandemic. Therefore, he needs to take the blame when things go awry.

        He also emphatically and arrogantly pontificated that is ‘I run things’ (in Dominica).

        So he should own the unacceptably high murder count, the ubiquitous poverty, skyrocketing unemployment, growing underemployment, widening political fragmentation, and the existential threat to our democracy.

        This apex dimwit is eminently unqualified to even run a small, village rum bar profitably.

      Both husband and wife are colossal misfits. They don’t possess the intelligence, morals, the requisite attributes to govern anything of value or worth. Imagine two of the most daft persons in complete charge of a country. There can be no good outcomes.

    We need a gun control law so persons caught without a license will serve a minimum of 10 years in jail. Let’s push for this so gun crime can be reduce. People today is your neighbour tomorrow might just you.

    Again, too many illegal guns on the streets. Additionally, research has shown that idleness due to lack of gainful employment is the biggest factor in the proliferation of criminal activities.

    Unemployment leads to increase in gang membership, alcoholism, drug abuse, prostitution, corruption, house breakings, physical assaults, and many other serious infractions of the law.

    The unemployment rate of the young people is astronomically high. This makes the youthful population restive and easy prey to gangsters.

      Are you not tired of belching bubbles, man? Do you ever take a vacation? All these factors you mentioned that lead to crimes have been going on since time immemorial. Before Skerrit was born. They are happening in all parts of the world. What contribution are you making to eradicate all these problems that you have mentioned? Sorry to say that you are no panacea to the problems of the world today.

        Your oafish comments are like water on a duck’s back.

        Roosevelt often makes detours. Use your support and influence to act as a guard-rail for him. Try to keep this inebriated driver (drunk with power) on the right path.
