The Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force is currently investigating the tragic discovery of a child’s corpse on the seashore at Penville earlier today.

A police source informed Dominica News Online (DNO) this afternoon that officers are actively at the scene, working to uncover the circumstances surrounding the incident. The identity of the child remains unknown at this time.

According to the source, preliminary investigations suggest that the child may have been a passenger on a capsized vessel carrying Haitians, which was en route to the French Territories. The police are continuing their efforts to gather more information and provide clarity on this unfortunate situation.

    What age range do they think the child is ? What’s the state of decomposition? Remember we still have not found the missing young lady from Warner . So it’s no stretch of the imagination.

    It’s always heartbreaking when a child meets his/her untimely demise. Regardless to the circumstances surrounding how it happened, it is emotionally crushing.

    Hope the investigations will reveal the truth about the identity of the child and the details surrounding this unfortunate event.

    I hope the news media in Dominica will follow up on this tragedy because they have a way of shelving things newsworthy after three days.

      You pretentious dummy, that’s not Dominica thats news media in general and even then its because peoples attention spans are short or people dont care enough about a topic and move on. You don’t need to depend on news media to care about something that’s important, you just do.

      Then again, types like you love to make things about yourself while portraying an image by making some pseudo intelligent or moral comment while doing absolutely nothing.

      key board warrior is what they call your type.

      Its tragic what happened to the child but it gets my goat to use the child sad passing the way you do, but I shouldnt be suprised pretenders like you will use any excuse to make yourself look better than you are while putting down others that actually doing something of value, hypocrite…

        You have to be a media person. The truth about the lethargic local media has hurt your fragile, eggshell ego. The news system in Dominica is so bad that there isn’t even a functional media association. There are too many pseudo- journalists.

        By the way, I have learnt NEVER to argue with a pig. It will drag you through the mud and the pig likes it anyway.

          you are the one with the eggshell ego spewing your failings on other people thats what your type does. Always willing to pass off your egotism and insults as truth and never willing to accept it about yourself.

          So much so you are wrong about my position im not a “media person”the media in general should do a lot better (DNO too) so I’m not defending them here at all, in Dominica or elsewhere there are a relatively few good journalists. You are twisting my words because I hit the nail on the head and you have no genuine defense against it because it applies to you.

          Think on it, you implying im the animal so you will NEVER argue with me yet you still attempting to argue with me…, you have no standards or consistent ethics your ego reigns supreme, and it leads you to self comforting falsehood. We agree that there are many pseudo-types but never claimed to be a journalist myself just exposing your fakeness for those who actually fooled by it and dont realize you don’t deserve the respect you are so desperate for.

            Is that your worst criticism of me? Come better for I’ve heard worse and came out unscathed, unblemished.

            I’m quite unperturbed by your inane remarks. They are like water running off the back of a duck. Your claims about me are at great odds with reality. Stop with your incoherent ramblings for they are totally inconsequential.

            @Ibo,

            Not even close. I wasn’t attacking you but deconstructing your flimsy BS, arguments.

            Meanwhile let me translate your lacking substance response, “blah, blah, puffs up chest to look more significant than you really are…blah blah borrowed word from thesaurus to sound smart accuse the other person of your own sick failings..blah blah”

            It seems to me that must be the only thing in your playbook.

            Well at least you stopped using the poor deceased child as a crutch for your ego, so credit where credit is due…you remember this was about the child right? Using their death to push your own self-centered biased pretense? Of course you didnt with your type its always about you.
