Police make breakthrough in Stock Farm murder; one person charged

Stephen Paul, murder victim

An investigation into the shooting death of 26-year-old Stephen Paul of Stockfarm has come to a close as the police have charged a Haitian national residing in Dominica with his murder.

It is alleged that on January 2, 2022 at Trafalgar, Job Jean who resides in Portsmouth murdered Paul.

Jean appeared before the Roseau court on March 4, 2022, where the charge of murder was read to him.  He was not required to enter a plea since murder is an indictable offense.

On January 2, 2022, about 5:00 p.m., Paul sustained a gunshot wound which resulted in his death. During the same incident, Kareem Abraham of Yampiece also sustained a gunshot wound which was not fatal.

Jean, was on January 31, 2022, charged with Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) with intent, for the alleged incident against Abraham.

The Prelimary Inquiry for the murder charge is expected to commence on June 21, 2022.

For the year thus far, Dominica has recorded four homicides, and three individuals have been charged with murder to date.

Head of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Belgrove Charles, has commended his department and the investigating teams for solving these murders.

He also thanked the families of the deceased for their patience and understanding during the course of their investigations.

    I dont know why all u protect the identity of the haitian and not post a pic, but when the dominican was charged in antigua yall post a pic awa obeah ka twavay bien

    ADMIN: There is a picture with his name.

    We generally post the picture and name of individuals who have been charged with a crime once these are available.

    There are exceptions such as in the case of laws that prohibit revealing the identity of the alleged perpetrator or victim.

    A Haitian residing in Portsmouth did that? I wonder if he is one of the Haitians Skerrit them registered to vote in Roseau last election?

    But that’s both bad news and good news.
    Bad news first: It’s always bad to take the life of a person, so my deepest condolences to the family of the victim. I pray God’s strength over them.
    Good news: Haitians just killed their president and almost took their prime Minister, which means they are prepared to do what it takes to bring deliverance . They are not talkers but doers. I wonder if Haitians can really help Dominica going forward, in agriculture, construction, cheap labor and other dirty work that Dominicans won’t do?

    Murders are only solved when the perpetrator is found guilty in a Court of Law.
