Two individuals were arrested and charged with two counts of summary offenses following an incident which occurred in Roseau on Friday 4th April, 2025.
According to police reports, they are to appear before a Roseau Magistrate Court on Monday 7th April 2025 where the charges will be read to them.
A video which went viral on Friday showed an altercation involving students in the vicinity of the arch in Roseau, resulting in one student throwing a liquid substance in the other’s face.
The CDPF wishes to advise parents to deal with issues at school, “in an amicable manner, not through violence in the public which does not augur well for the peacefulness of our beautiful country.”
Dominica News Online (DNO) will follow that story and provide more information in a later publication.
This story needs to be corrected. I saw the video and the substance was thrown at two persons, not one.
And what is wrong in first of all reporting that this incident occurred between school children – in full uniform and an adult in between? Else the line about settling issues in school makes no sense.
Finally we have room in the cell to punish people that transgressed the law. Skerrit should keep our cells loaded with good citizens of good character that don’t support his evil, so there would be no space to put criminals like themselves
Violence, drama, police brutality plague the country. Satanic forces roam the land. I shudder to think of the other curses to befall Dominica as God is just and his justice cannot sleep forever.
