Police Public Relations Officer Inspector Claude Weekes said no charges have been filed against the driver involved in the country’s first road fatality of the year.
Weekes said the investigations into the Jan. 5 accident in which 44-year-old Kirk Ian Didier died is still ongoing, and cannot be classified as a hit and run at this point.
Didier was struck by a Nissan car in Silver Lake at about 5 p.m on Wednesday, Jan. 5 while walking along the road.
“He sustained head injuries and was transported to the Princess Margaret Hospital for medical attention. By 6:30 p.m. he succumbed, and was officially pronounced dead by Dr. Andrew,” Weekes said.
Reports are that the driver of the vehicle, a female residing in Shawford Estate, did not stop immediately after hitting Didier, who was left bleeding profusely on the road for some time before the ambulance arrived.
Weekes said all reports are being taken into consideration, and until this investigation is completed as well as a coroner’s inquest, no further action can be taken at this point.
i hope u are educated ,if you were you would not use bad words to explain yourself

Sorry for the loss of this yound man. I am sorry to say the Lisette Peter-Thomas Of Shawford should pay the price of manslauter you do the crime you do the time. Just because the car belong to Dawin does not mean you should not follow the law. Every time you get into trouble and the law have to get involve you then your husband and other close person says you have amnesia, Lisette you know that is not true. Lisette you called me and told me of the accident and I told you to remain there I am going to call you husband and send some one to be with you on the spot you said yes please do so quick cause you don’t know what to do and I told you these things do happen, Please say exacly what happen or else I will have to go to the police with a lawer and say what you said you were doing thats why you did not see the young man. Please speak the truth and let the young man family lay him to rest in peace. Lisette the truth please
I am a concerned family member………. I am wondering if you would be willing to contact me to discuss this info privately…………… If you are willing, everything will be held in the strictest confidence………………. thank you for your post………… and for revealing the truth…………. [email protected] and God Bless You!!!!
the woman knock the guy in other words she hit and run. Well the dead should chase and run her for life.
I just knew that Weeks is no different from the rest of the Big Boys in the Force!!!!
He gave the appearance of BALANCE with the Bubbles Gun Matter but we all see him falling just like the rest in this Death by dangerous driving or Death by careless driving leading to the death of a human being.
You so know the law where firearms are concerned where nobody got physically injured yet basic and routine police matters like traffic violations are not known to you well enough!!!
I am left to wonder if some senior law enforcement officers saw the Bubbles case as an opportunity to raise their personal profile in the eyes of competitive political parties in the hope that one day they may be rewarded with status of commissioner and other prestigious titles.
Where is the justice for a man or woman with lucks on their head in Dominica? Up to now we still treating people with lucks on their heads as second class citizens? It is over 30 years since we as a country was confused with our young men and women who took up to the Hills of Zion and we the rest of the society stigmatizing their families as failures when their kids became Rasta and Dread.
Have we taken the time to fully understand why this period came about? Have we harvested the full benefits of this period?
Dominican people just before the era of Independence in Dominica we had a group of young intelligent sons and daughters of the soil who saw the downside to social and economic segregation and wanted to effect a lasting change, a change that would bring the coming together of rich and poor persons as their brother and sister keeper!
Change always brings initial unrest of all kinds. In a society there is the typical group dynamics chaos among members trying to define the identity of the group and the wider society suspicious of the intentions of the new group and the compromises that must follow – recognition, acceptance, new norms, power sharing, and revised agendas!!!!
Alas , the Labor Government of the 1970s were badly advised and the Opposition fearful of a revised social agenda that would see them loosing the most exploited the crisis to gain political power for over 15 years post Independence.
The UWP came in between July 1995 to January 31, 2000 but was just another pair of khaki pants (6 of 1, half a dozen of the other).
By then the original movers and shakers for change in Dominica got lost amidst other political parties. And so Rosie and Pierre Charles sold out the masses dream for meaningful change in Dominica.
Finally today we see the first generation of a Rasta man’s son as Prime Minister of Dominica and yet again the dark forces in the Opposition with the most to lose are trying the same old tactics of divide and rule to prevent the revised social agenda – equal access to lands, education, social welfare, jobs, health, good roads, air access, and security.
The revised Social Agenda for Dominica has started and all stake holders including the Police must get on board and be part of the Program. Skerrit being the Son of a Rasta man must go beyond the symbolism and lead to new and improved norms of behavior for the benefit of the masses of Dominica.
It is taking much too long being in the storming phase of this revised social transformation that we all long to see Dominica enjoy. Opposing political and civic groups are not prepared to yield to a spirit of compromise though much has been achieved – for example the establishments of new Institutions like the Broad Base IPO, ECTEL, the IRC, and Laws governing the Legal Profession. Much more awaits – revised electoral list, Voter ID Cards, Office for the Leader of the Opposition, the tapping of the Diaspora Potential in the areas of managerial capacity, investment, overseas missions, and participation in elections. These outstanding matters are not beyond our collective intellectual capacity to achieve for the benefit of the Commonwealth of Dominica and its citizenry to achieve a period of phenomenal advancement in Dominica going beyond the Next Level to the realm of a First World Environment.
We need to accelerate beyond the Next Level simply because of the amount of time that has already been wasted there will soon be another Social Upheaval wanting to bring Dominica to First World Status and our Political Parties in Opposition with the Most to lose will highjack the Revolution of our children and we will have three generations of post Independence people wondering why we do not seem to move forward at a faster rate.
Mr. Weekes, how can you say that this can’t be called “hit and run”? Is this a joke? The fact that the driver did not stop or even called for help classifies her behavior as “hit and run”. Please Please are we serious here?
In dominica 2010/ 2011 any thing wrong that is done there is twist to it,there is the truth- an the -lie only one should apply right or wrong,the poor man is dead we are still twisting no one is charge,dont charge the driver , charge the the car or the battery,this country is still back 20 years what a shame.
Shame on the police that is murder,if she had stopped and helped the deceased he might be alive.How are you going to live with blood on your hands for the rest of your life.the police should arrest you,there is no law anymore in our lovely country.your going to see this guy for the rest of your life.
granted that she panicked. it could happpen to you and me
what i suggest is this
before someone obtains a drivers licence this person should do a course in first aid and how to assist in the event of a road accident
belive me if this is carried out i am sure there will be less accidents and death resuting from vehicle accidents
Most people will agree with me thta some persons aquire driving licence without even doing a test just because the officer/s incharge is some kind of relative or knows the family
secondly i beleive Dominica should have an emergency flying ambulance to fly persons to nearby islands for emergency medical care, if we dont have this in dominica
zuma
i agree a100% when u said about the course in first aid , about air ambulance i also disagree when u said about some ppls get their licence because knows them i dont think so cause my boyfriend is police the guy who taught me to drive is police when i went for my driving test the officer was so hardon the road with me so i disgree, ok.
i cyah believe the woman she hit de man den drive off and dey saying it was not a hit and run SMH do dat in anywhere else and allu will see dominican justice at it finest
You mean these things still happens in Dominica? I hope the authorities here the cry and concerns of the people and take proper actions!
the police force in dominca are a complete joke. you hardly ever see them patrolling the streets, when you do see them, every one is their ‘partner’ , they stop and talk at the corner of the street, completly unprofession. they command no respect, and they deserve none. no wonder there are so many murders, because out of frustration and total inaction from those jokers people take the law into their own hands. inspector weeks then comes on the media and spills out the same old gabbage, about one bad apple, no, not one bad apple but a barrel full of bad apples.
we are forever being told that x amount of new police officers are being trained, but where are they, they seem to be invisible. another things you see the police cars being drive, i must add rather recklessly on most occasions not carrying out police duty, but for the personal use.
please for 2011, police inspector get your officers to behave in a more professional manner, and do the job which they are being paid to do, because if you don’t the number of murders will be even higher and that would be very sad for all concern. yes, there will always be murders, but some of those murders could have been avoided had the police done their duty.
happy
so policemen cannot even stop and talk to someone my god they are also people, no police or law can prevent someone from killing if that what in their mind to do they will do it (we ppls need to have a bit of mind control) the force is not a barrel full of spoil apple ok there are good and bad since in time of creation (check your bible)
please answer how do u know that police vehicle is being used for personal business is it because they did a personal favor for u.
my suggestion to u inspector if to u that your officer need some professional why not organize some indoors training with each department separately. ok
hit, stroll away, call the police, get my attorney and return incident
under the radar I agree with u it wasn’t hit and run it was hit and stroll…. justice is for one set. u knock down the person u drive away it is classified as HIT AND RUN
They are the same ones who arrest and charge u for killing 2 crayfish…try sending u to jail for 3 months for 2 crayfish because u’re a big criminel…..now woman at home making love to her man like nothing happened. WHY ? because she was not charged for killing a human . she cant remember a thing bout the accident BUT did remember to contact her lawyer…very funny …DOMINICANS need to PROTEST more SO they can deal with the real issues.
WOW, IS THAT BARVEY, MY SCHOOL MATE.. HOLY … RIP IAN
interesting theory mr. weekes i don’t have to go to university to know what is hit and run as a matter of fact it kinda speaks for it self.im gonna be following this story lets see how it goes.
Stop lying…she didn’t flee the accident scene. Stop lying. If you want to know the facts, call the traffic department, but don’t lie like that.
if she didn’t flee the scene how the hell her lawyer end up in the car he fly and come in the car and meet her. she knock down the man drive off, call lawyer, come back, sit in car, never look out to see who or what she hit
mal dat,
and yet the lady from wesley was put in jail instantly for using a knife at her cousin,which is stil alive at this point,
hipocracia!!!!,( hipocracy)
RIP my old friend Bavay. We your former classmates will never forget how you were “killed” and the killer allowed to walk free without even seeing the doors of the court-house.
We will never know if the driver was drunk, or broke the laws of the land in the form of;
1. Driving without Due Care and attention (a crime a crime in Dca)
2. Dangerous driving (a crime in Dca)
3. Leaving the scene of an accident (a crime in Dca)
The two first offenses are indictable and the police should have at least let the lower court decide if a crime was comitted instead of “refusing” to file charges. A smell a BIG cover-up somewhere along the lines. Mr. Commissioner we need to hear from you instead of the PRO. This one is smelling real bad and heads must roll. Who will investigate the investigating officer???? Hail Mary Full Of Grace…
If the allegations that the vehicle was unlicensed, and that the driver failed to stop but instead went to find an attorney BEFORE showing up at the scene ARE indeed correct, this is a VERY DISTURBING development….Leaves us all to wonder. Please police undertake a FAIR and JUST “investigation”!
she should have been arrested plain and simple? what investigations that have to be carried out into some hitting someone on the road leave the man for dead then come back …. was the driver going to court? the moment the guy died the police should have arrested her for reckless driving. she was driving over the speed limit while passing through a residential community..is she being given special treatment because its a woman or is it to cover up that the care belongs to a policeman and was on the road illegally as documents were not in order? mr weekes with you knowlege of the law i’m rather supprised you don’t think this is a hit and run. you’re starting to sound like the police commissioner who thinks if you have a fire arm with an expired license that its still legal to carry that gun.. you showed some inteligence then and we’d like you to do the same now..please recant that statement mr weekes if you want to be viewed as a credible cop.
SEND THE DAMN LADY JAIL
WHAT THE HELL I HEARING THERE
IF IT WAS MARIJUANA I WOULD BE STOCKFARM ALREADY
THE LADY DID NOT EVEN STOP AND CHECK THE MAN
AND SHE KNEW SHE HIT SOMEBODY
JAIL,JAIL,JAIL,
YOU STARTED GOOD UNTIL YOU BRING POLITICS
SO DAMN TYPICAL
SO I WILL GIVE YOU A THUMBS DOWN
Please read again.. It’s not that she will never be charged. SImply, some procedures must be followed first. According to the article above : “Weekes said all reports are being taken into consideration, and until this investigation is completed as well as a coroner’s inquest, no further action can be taken at this point.” Apart from this, do you know whether the information in the comment by PETERSON is accurate? Just a thought! I am sensitive to the fact that a life was lost and if you kill someone you should pay for it, just that I think in this case, we should allow the police to do their investigations first.
I think the lady just panicked…nevertheless the right thing to have done would have been to stop and then at least call an ambulance..same thing happened here in Antigua a few days ago and the driver killed the young man about 5:30 AM…he didnt stop either, but turned himself in a few hours after…i dont think he has been charge up to this day…
she needs to be arested and charge.It’s the law.Thats manslauter.
she committed a crime; it’s called “causing the death of a pedestrian”. She needs to be locked up, no questions. That Weekes guy is incompetent and clueless; Dominicans in high positions make the most detrimental decisions when it comes to situations, and even when the evidence is so obvious.
… There was a witness who saw the lady stop when she hit the person, and continued to drive on. How far is the accident from Bath Estate? I have been away from Dominica for so long, I cannot even visualize where Bath Estate is. Now, up until she reaches Bath Estate, she can remember what she did; still with the state of mind to call the police and to call her lawyer. Would she not have to tell the police and her lawyer where the accident took place? Up to that point, her memory is still working isn’t it? She went back to accident scene with her lawyer.
It is clear that the accident is a “hit and run” crime; another Life has been lost. Declaration of memory loss? Oh no! According to MOTS, “lady” not before the judgment of God. Please do not take this to your grave, especially if human beings never charge you for the crime. Your victim is now a “dead man”. You cannot ask him to forgive you, but God is willing to forgive you on his behalf. However, you need to show some form of remorse before your God, who is also your victim’s God and our God as well.
Police Public Relations Officer Inspector Claude Weekes said no charges have been filed against the driver involved in the country’s first road fatality of the year.
My people the key words here are NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED. Let us wait and after investigations are completed then we can accuse the police of not doing their jobs. As far as I can see there are several offences that have been committed, and am guessing the police are not that
incompetent to not see that themselves.
i must learn to speak another language so i wont say i from dominica moi hount
YOUR POINT EXACTLY?
hey i would put her in the cell with no bail cause i find that is none sense
after u jam the man u don’t even stop and u come back wit lawyer
do matter what the man was he was a person and somebody child
so she should pay for that.if it was a spliff they get on some one they would be in the cell
so do all u job man.where is the justice.that is y killing will never stop all u police that causing that……
The Victim looks like a guy I knew as Ian Bavay who went to sma and then left for the us longtime ago is that him??
Yes it is..
YEA
….
WHAT KIND OF LAW IS THIS? SHE TOOK SOMEONE’S LIFE SHE SHOULD BE CHARGED.
IF I WAS THIS DEAD MAN’ S FAMILY I WOULD SEE THAT THE POLICE DO THEIR JOB RIGHT.
now dats some real lawlessness right there. is the lady a high-rankin person or somtn?
Claude weekes side thing she be
Seems the lAw is there for only one set of ppl..
oh i cannot agree with you more on what you say, wish i no who you were and just kiss your feet. only in dominica these nonsence can happen. we just need to take off all the good ppl in this place and send a big heroshima down there especially on that so call force. sorry to sound like that but to much preferences man in that force. so fed up with all those shit. the damn woman should be jailed for what she did.somebody just lost a son, or maybe a father,brother just like that? common
You see she is surrounded by policemen. two of her brother in law are policemen. Justice stiffled
Look marji…. Is d police themselves that is d reason 4all d crime we hve here in my country.. Mr. Weeks answer this if a vehicle struck a man and keeps on driving..how d he’ll u going and make a dumb statement that it is not considered hit an run…she hit and d car continued running…is bull… like that that can cause ppl to do …..police family or not..un liscence vehicle..over 50..half blind..yet no charges..plus she was in good state of mind 2consult her attorney..poor malawe. Children al u hve force on…d law is d law once it’s broken action must must be taken,,,do all u job
L
….
Ah wha boi… Wha happenin dwn there nor? Dem barbylon just ah eat tax payers money… Any time is some 1 of so call high society dem ah ******* play fooly but if it was a local dwn 2 earth all u wud ah c how fast dem fly…. Doh worry man all u time ah come
what a shame, our laws are too slack here,
To many driver speed in the communities, when they no there is a speed limit, the lady was going to fast (as most drivers do)
any conscience driver would stop to asses the scene, she have no heart to continue driving and leave a human being helpless on the road..
She knew she hit a man, ..
I am sure it was someone of the more fortunate class in society, something would have been done already,
Okay ! De police forming de fool and she even bringing lawyer to the scene. Well she dig her hole because that proves that she left the scene of the crime, past the police station and go to get a lawyer? That cannot go down like that !
Hellooooooooo The god damn vehicle was not licensed. That alone is cause for this woman to be arrested and jailed during the ongoing investigation. Why is this Dominica justice system so weak and unethical??? It really pisses me off!!
So just what is a hit and run According to inspector weekes. You have to hit the victim while you are running or you must hit the victim while he is running, if he is only walking peacefully then it is not hit and run it is hit while walking,This explanation according to the very VERBOSE inspector Weekes
It is obvious that the police are shielding someone, but all is not lost, if as it stands that the vehicle was not insured the victims family should file a wrongful death against the driver and seek punitive damages
THE FACT THAT SHE WENT FOR HER LAWYER MEANS THAT SHE KNEW SHE DID SOMETHING WRONG…IN THE COUNTRY IS WHO DO THE CRIME…THAT IS JUST GONNA BE SWEPT UNDER THE TABLE…AND THE LAWYER WOULD TELL HER DONT SAY ANYTHING AND COME UP WITH A BRILLIANT STORY..HOW SHE THOUGHT SHE HIT A DOG OR SOMETHING….LET ME TELL YOU….ALL THOSE PRIEST,PASTORS,POLITICIANS AND LAWYERS NEED TO BE PLACED IN A HUGS ROOM….BUY COUPLE BARRELS OF GASOLINE……IF I SAY THE REST DNO WOUNT PUBLISH MY COMMENT SO USE YOUR IMMAGINATION….
but what come mess dat nuh so ppl not even sure if they can receive decensy no more……..not an animal she hit nuh bodaie, that was areal dam human, “and she hasnt been charged YET!!!!!!” when they plan on charging her…….is only in d/ca dem … does happen had it been in any other country that woman wud be in deep trouble…….and n e 1 reading that traggic story knows this……when things like that happening and going easy so wha u expect ppl 2 do?????…….
…
I listened to one of the eye witnesses,giving an account of what happened,and from a laymans standpoint,the lady did not stay anywhere close to the spot the accident occurred.. This to my layman knowledge fits “HIT AND RUN” 1..Why did she return with a lawyer? 2. How far away did she get the lawyer? 3.Was the lawyer a passenger on the same car? 4.Why she did not have the courtesy to even stop and look at the man on the ground? 5. Was the man an animal?
THIS LADY SHOULD HAVE SEVERAL SERIOUS CHARGES INSTITUTED AGAINST HER? Was the man a dog??? LET’S NOT BRING CURSE UPON THIS COUNTRY….PUNISH HER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn’t that the guy who sells the jellies? He is a cool & quiet guy. I do not know whether he was a drug user, but he certainly did not appear to me as someone without control of his faculties. The news reported him almost as a stray dog. Homeless & under privilege people have rights and I must dare say “equal rights”. They are human beings.
Accidents do happen & so the driver should explain what happened on that fateful day. If the vehicle was not licensed or insured, then the driver would have personal responsibility for the life of another (sad but real). The road in that area does not provide adequate safety for pedestrians, so maybe its time to put some “speed bumps” to control the traffic there.
Let’s pray for our country – It is one too many unfortunate incidents: murder, violence, accidents, deaths, political, family, religious & personal strife.
i agree she should have been arrested but i was not a hit and run the woman stop and when she got out the residents of silver lake were so angry they started making threats at her..ppl starting saying kill mamsel stone her in short while a lil mob had gather there so like any normal person she didnt stay there to make them do her anything and knowing the ppl from that area they would have done her something
never mind the police. we all know they are idiots already. where is the higher power. (THE LAW )
to charge the driver. driving without insurance is an offence on its own. if she cant remember hitting the man why did she call her attorney. she slowed down them drove off, what did she think the man was a dog. she should be infront of a gudge and made to remember. there will always be curruption in the police force. THE MESSAGE IS IF YOU WANT TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER IS BE FRIENDS WITH A POLICE OFFICE. HOW SAD. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE AND HIS SPIRIT HUNTS HER.
By the laws of Dominica if the person is dead after the accident the then ‘murderer’ should be arrested….I personally would like to know what excuses she is going to give as to why she didn’t stop when she ‘thought she hit something’
. Any sane person would immediately stop the vehicle and investigate. I REFUSE to believe that she could not make out is a human she hit….that loud thud could not have been a speed bump….She needs to be held accountable for her actions, she knew damn well she needed her lawyer anywho. And the D.ca police needs to come better than that, the fact that her sister’s boyfriend being a P.Officer may be reason for that bull… of a statement….#i’m just saying
i agree totally ,if it was someone else u would see ,that person would be in the courts and jail for murder .You see ,guess he dosent have no one for him , but it should my family and we would see cuase thats why crime will never stop , ha ha ha cant remember nothing but remember to get a Attorney. God not a police.
he is someone.. he does have a very loving caring family, mother and father, sisters, nieces, nephews, etc…. and an attorney… let the trial begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRUTH WILL PREVAIL!!!!
In the event of any road accident where a person is injuried the emergency services should be called e.g Police, Ambulance and if necessary Fire. No evedience should be tampered with untill the law arrives. Secondly that woman knew she was driving without the proper documents and the car was not belonging to her. Inspector Weekes I do listen to his programme on a Friday evening and the advice he gives to the drivers should have digested in that woman mind as part of her family the law prevails there. I do not understand she cannot remember what she had done but she brought her lawyer with her and not only that she left the guy dying and called the emergency elsewhere.
She is as guilty as daylight and if this was in England she would have been arrested for the simple reason she left the scene of the accident and that is contempt of law.
Inspector Weekes I admire him all the way in England and we too have family members working for the metropolitian police and we know this woman should be in custody right. Rough Justice.. Hit and Run alright that is what has happened and there is no need for her to defend her actions .
As i got it, The guy was a parro and dog was after him and he ran across the road and got hit by the pick-up, The girl driving the pick-up was so nervous that she coudn’t even stop.
Are you for real?? You saying that barvay turned parro to the point that he came back to dca from the US where he could have gotten treatment to even get hit like a dog. WOW I wonder how much of that is true.
Well, well, well ! ! That is Dominica for you but one day JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL IN THIS COUNTRY ! !
This was an unfortunate accident too. In this case the driver who said she fell as;eep at the wheel killed two persons standing in a bus stop. she will be charged….
http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/She-was-my-backbone-in-every-way_8270614
AWA!!! Dominica needs to come better than that. Murder is murder no matter who it is that was murdered. Wrong is wrong!!! You do the crime, you face the time!!
if she cannot see she shouldn’t be driving.she left the guy to bleed on the street, he is no animal.he was a human.how the hell she going and get lawyer and not getting the man help.nonsense man.she should say praise god he not related to me.a forking life for a life. i am bitter and angry about this story,but i know she will never go jail her brother -in law is a police.
dominica need real enforcement . there,s know law in dominica.
There really seems to be some problems with law in Dominica. This was clearly a case of hit and run, which resulted in the death of an individual. Why doesn’t the law apply to everyone, why is this woman exempted from being charged.
where is my comment DNO? thats why folks complain because you all delete people comments. The lady murdered the man. and she goona get her but up and go church! hypocrit. Them damn bible thumpers in DA. Bible thumpers are the worst!!!!!
what you were looking to get a prize for your detailed story of the person’s family life and ties?????…um ok……typical dominican toujou pushing poopoo
That doesn’t make any sense…. Someone died and as a matter of fact they were hit by a vehicle… ITS NOT LIKE YOU PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER!!!! what the heck is going on in Dominica with these police officers… the person is yet to be charged?? NONSENSE… and worst again the person did a HIT AND RUN!…. he or she didn’t bother staying and facing what they did??? and all you telling people all u CANNOT DO ANYTHING YET until further investigations??? KI KALTAY BAYTIZ sa??/ stupesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss….
That is just RIDICULOUS!!!… it seems to me is either there are no laws that require certain things OR SOME PEOPLE THAT SIT BEHIND DESK AND PRETENDING DO NOT KNOW THE LAW!!!!
When you all are done with all the investigation, am sure the lady would already leave the country.
them dominica police is are waste of time.
garcon you are so right. claud wicks thinks he is jesus christ. dam nonsense. our police are just a waste of time. all of them. they need to go study and learn. being in morne bruce for six months is just wasting tax payers money. how do they even go about charging people down here? its amazing. god help us please
u didn’t do grammar in school? for a police speak proper
spellllllllllling grammar
They NEED to charge that woman. She hit and run even if she come back after a while she need to be charged for sumting..she took a life away bcuz of her carelessness
When you are a nobody, … happens to you. I guess hit and run in Dominica means you have to leave the car and run on foot? Isn’t there also such a thing as leaving the scene of the crime? I guess the ten years it will take for the investigations to conclude will be enough for everybody to forget the accident? No man! Come on! A life has been taken. The only decision should be the intent of the person.
The driver did not stop to check up on the person that she hit. Head injuries are very serious and the driver should of stop. Animal or person one should stop to see the seriousness of the injuries.
One can not leave the scene of an accident. This is considered hit & run. She her self could of called the ambulance thats why he was bleeding profusely. THIS IS MURDER!!!!!!!!
SHAWFORD she living. Yeah are you surprised no charges yet? Seriously Dominica is racist, rogue and completely lawless. Rules for some and non for the other. I know if she was anywhere else she would be in jail! Look up Aimee Micheals USA and you will see what should happen to people who are heartless enough to hit people on the street and live them for dead. That woman has zero conscience. Wicked people alone that can injure someone and live them for dead. Dominica needs help. And then people want to call on God but God ain’t seeing this country no more cause you guys be lying to damn much!
ITS NOT HIT AND RUN……….ITS HIT AND DRIVE……….LOL
claude weekes you need to be replaced..you seem to know nothing when comes to crime…ooh boy..may his soul rest in peace….
Oh my , I knew this guy.
We went to SMA together! He was even the Head Boy of SMA.
Ian used to reside just around the Wesley High School next to the gas station.
Mister mother use to be a Nurse in Dominica and Father was known as a great Cook.
My goodness, Ian that loose his life just like that?
I am always saddened to hear of fatal crashes. It is a God-given precious live which is lost, never to return which cause much grief for specifically relatives and for years.
May his soul rest in peace. My heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.
Why did the other driver not stop immediately? Did she not know that she struck someone? Speeding too much I suppose? Just speculating.
If drivers who speed and cause injuries to the point of maiming and fatal crashes should comprehend that they are responsible for same and should pay the full price of their actions.
I always endorse, drive safely! If you drink, do not drive. If you drive, do not drink.
There is no need to speed for you do not know who and what is around the corner and stick to your side of the road. Drivers are constantly warned about that.
As it is stated in this article, the police is investigating. In time it will be proved who may have been at fault.
So she doesnt have a name if it was someone else their name wld be all over the news!
Anyway, if she is not charged I know why. Then again, Karma is a bitch and all you time will come. Wicked set of people. If you bounce someone or something, you not supposed to stop right away? SMH! I hope something is done. R.I.P Ian, my coconut padner.
so y didnt the driver stop then?
the driver should be arrested big time there no law
That was a hit and run… what stupidity is that.
The Guy was struck by said car and the car left the scene ..HIT N RUN…..Sot
i agree thats a hit and run and nooooooooo amnesia is to blame 4 that how did she know to call the police and report that she think she hit someone and was advice to get back to the scene of the crime????? how did she know to come back with her lawyer ??? thats because she fully knows that she a committed a crime (hit and run) police wake up and do ur work not because she has police family that she should be set free . fair is fair charge her like anyone else. for god sake a man is dead and left to die at the road side
