Dominica’s first homicide victim of 2022 identified as Cochrane male

Just two days into 2022, Dominica has recorded its first homicide with the ill-fated victim being identified as a man from Cochrane.

Dominica News Online (DNO) was informed by a police source that Miron Benjamin allegedly succumbed to injuries from a stab wound on the morning of January 2, 2022.

Benjamin’s body was found on Goodwill Road, near S-Mart supermarket and Do It Center.

The police have since launched an investigation into the matter.

DNO will provide more information as it becomes available.

    Ayeeeeeee Dominique! We need a complete overhaul here before it too late. There will always be crime, I know that but the root cause of the crimes in Dca is failed policies that has left the youth unemployed, vexatious, short tempered with a “doh give a sheet” attitude. We need Changeeeeeeeeee soup lay!

    Sincerest condolences to the family, friends and acquaintances of the dearly departed brother. I hope all of you find solace from whatever good things he did during his sojourn on earth.

    It’s my prayerful wish that this is not an omen of what’s to transpire for the rest of the year. Let common sense and love for each other be our guide.

    Welcome to Skerrits Crime Island. The country hasn’t got a police force to upkeep the law and investigate ALL crime but instead the PM has a private militia to protect him and his interests. Oddly enough the militia is financed out of state coffers rather than out of the pockets of the despot. What has become of you, my Dominica?
