In less than 24 hours, Dominica has recorded two homicides.
Information reaching Dominica News Online (DNO) indicates that the latest victim is 26 year-old Stephen Paul Jr. aka 2pac who succumbed to a gunshot wound which he received earlier today in Trafalgar.
This morning, the body of a Cochrane man, Miron Benjamin was found along the Goodwill Road, near S-Mart supermarket and Do It Center with multiple stab wounds.
DNO will provide updated information as it becomes available.
I expect soem to be in denial,but, this is nothign but demonic activity around the world, to inclde Dominica. Start praying and renouncing those evil spirits and things will improve. Blame government, Haitian, joblessness,neighbors, family members, the pet cat, the pet dog, blame me; this is all demonic.
The devil comes to kill, seal,and destroy–that is happening.
Dominica is a very violent country.
“Dominica is a very violent country”shut your bird brain mouth and get back to your Bible bashing!!!!
What are the root causes of these escalating murders and crimes in Dominica? It’s too simplistic and easy to just throw blame on the young people.
There are too many dysfunctional homes. If the homes are dysfunctional, the communities become dysfunctional
Another glaring faction is the ubiquitous CORRUPTIN in government and the public service. When the government is corrupt the whole of society becomes corrupt. Look at the police force; the decisions of the courts; the utterly disgraceful actions in parliament; the despicable behaviour of the Speaker; the thunderous silence of the President in light of the atrocious conduct of Mr. Skerrit and his posse of rogues.
Strong social support systems, more magistrate courts, swift justice, the total eradication of corruption, stiffer penalies, rehabilitation of inmates inside the prison, more job opportunities, professionalism in the police force and public service to build back respect and confidence in these two entities, etc.
Wow… 2 murders in 2 days. What’s going on?
Stop maligning and ostracizing the Haitians. The majority of Dominicans and Haitians are law abiding. The wonton disregard for life is not a respecter of nationality. This criminal plague continues to decimate the Caribbean and even the so-called more developed regions of the world (see Chicago and New York City).
Quite often it is a regrettable case of birds of a feather flocking together or violence begetting violence. On occasion, it is a classic example of predatory criminal behavior. One thing is certain, the status quo is bound to continue if we don’t get our act together.
“This criminal plague continues to decimate the Caribbean and even the so-called more developed regions of the world (see Chicago and New York City).”
You see your sentiment as quoted above; it’s a product of the Dominica mentality; we seem to have the need to make comparisons with the rest of the world; and so, we practice what we see on Television, believing it happens in the real world; we murder our very own families including our mothers, and reference Chigo, New York, and the devil in hell for our murderous behavior.
Interestingly, we do not copy the good things we see in the states mentioned.
There will always be plenty of crimes in Dominica, until there is enough employment to keep those who wish to work employed, even the want-to-be or would-be criminals.
When there are no prospects of employment, a criminal only alternative is to rob steal and what goes along with it, even killing for something to eat.
Passport industry cannot employ everybody!
I guess there is no employment in America why these thugs are out there shooting each other. Right? No employment in Dominica, so, they shooting each other as well. Makes no sense to me, Francisco.
ds, there are more shooting, and murder, and thievery in Dominica per capita than in the United States.
There are more than 327 million people in America, in Dominica you have between 30, and 40 thousand people; so there is no comparisons.
Look at this:
” Updated 4:28 PM ET, Tue October 12, 2021 New York (CNN Business) A record 4.3 million people quit their jobs in August, evidence of the considerable leverage workers have in today’s economy.
So, to date these are people who were not fired, they left
for better jobs!
It is estimated since that last statistic, more than six (6,000,000) million have quite!
Food for taught!
Happy New year Francisco, I am glad at last you have written the word so-called property or shall I say you been taking lessons from Elizabeth, one more thing be a good boy and stop writing rubbish and telling lies! About our best prime minister ever Dr.Skerrit, ugly Lenny, could never compared to Mr.Skerrit, in a matter of fact ugly Lenny, and his lollypop men are in their twilight ages and could never achieve anything good in life! What goes bad at night cannot come good in the morning . Spread the words of wisdom to your so-called cuz he’s too old and now walking two steps back and one forward!!!
But, Mr. Man-Dog; don’t you know that we are all in the our twilit years?
People are born: and we age; there is one thing most people do not realize, and that is from the day we are born we begin to die, some of us are blessed to live a full life ordained by God, we live beyond seventy years old. In the case of Sidney Pointier the late great actor, died today at age 94.
Babies are born “dead” Children die young too; Roosevelt as well as Lennox, and you will also die?
” Ecclesiastes 3:2 says that there is “a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.” (King James Version).
For your information, those are the words of the richest, the most wise (“educated man) who ever lived: a “Black man” King Solomon of the Bible!
Don’t wish death on anyone; we all have to die; Roosevelt too.
Happy New Year!
Young men in Dominica are rapidly becoming an endangered species. Life expectancy for this demographic group is trending in the wrong trajectory.
The government must devise a strategic plan to halt this scrouge. Crime does not discriminate as it affects everyone. Therefore, the whole of society needs to get involved, that is, the ruling party, opposition, business sector, religious denominations, in fact, the whole of civil society.
When a society remains indifferent or becomes desensitized to crime, especially murders, the situation only exacibates. All major parties need to mend fences on this particular issue; put their collective heads (ideas)together; and restore Dominican to its once pristine image of a land of peace, love and bountiful, natural beauty.
I would like to see Lennox, Roosevelt and the religious leaders all on one stage denouncing this cancer called violence on our society.
Especially Lennox.
The INSTIGATOR.
Dominica population is being replaced by foreigners and voo doo people. This helps to keep the dictator Skerrit in power for life. Every fallen male in Dominica is replaced with five (5) Haitians….and these “hate-ti-ans” are Skerrit supporters who don’t give a hoot about Dominica.
May his family find comfort in the Lord. The weekend SEEWOO in Scott’s Head has to STOP. The young people who are coming from all over DA and congregating maskless in the Scott’s Head clubhouses and streets, they are endangering the lives of everyone, especially their love ones. It’s just a matter of time before the Omicron the highly contagious virus hit our shores. Stop the nightmare in Scott’s Head, we care for our health.
What that have to do with scottshead?
I agree that people should practise the non-pharmaceutical protocols presently in place. They help to contain the virus.
However, two young sons f the soil were brutally murdered and not a word about this from you. How is not wearing masks connected with these two most recent murders? SMDH
Ok. So that was not the avenue to raise the Scotts Head matter. But Bon Diay please don’t kill the messenger.
ADMIN. I think this presents an opportunity to investigate this matter and run a story. After all, we know and have been warned time and time again about following protocols, and more so to be vaccinated.
So scottshead is the cause of his death??? That’s what you D/cans do put the blame on somebody else, scottshead has no clubhouses not one, scottshead is not the only place in dominica playing music or having parties, these people who you alleged of paying music and having parties if it’s true just know they have bills to pay kids to feed, what has your government done for small business owners? What assistance have they give? Do you think of these things? Most of you all on dno have nothing to do you guys just wait for opportunities like these to type negative comments, Talking bout “they endangering the lives of everyone” its you guys that getting covid and after coming scottshead to give it to us!!! DON’T COME IN OUR PLACE
OK pal, I not coming to Scott’s Head again to buy my fish. I know when I not welcome. Keep playing your boom boom music and be proud to be the fag end of Dominica.
I guess we are just gopign to give lucifer a pass?
Yessssa if it ain’t 1 is d other. SMH
