    It is so sad when people die in accidents. It is a death which was unexpected.
    Motorcyclists, whatever time of day or night you ride them, proceed cautiously. The nights are worst for the roads are not lit. The drivers could also be tired.
    How sad for the family and others who knew them.
    May God give you the necessary strength to cope with their sudden passing.
    My heartfelt sympathy to all of you.
    Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
    May their souls rest in peace. Amen!

    People still die everyday in motorcycle accidents in 1st world countries with all the rules and safety precautions enforced. Riders bear personal reaponsibility for protecting their lives.

    DNO what are you talking about by “Police identify men killed in Antrim accident”? Family and friends identified them and informed the police. These guys called police cannot even differentiate a red painted criminal from a very good law abiding citizen, is dead people they can identify. hogwash!

      I think you’re being petty.Does it matter who identified them? The important thing is that they were identified. Quit looking so close. this is not a good place to bring negativity. RIP.

    With all the Motorcycle deaths in Dominica, can someone tell me if something is being done to enforce safe riding techniques and defensive riders course or even mandatory video training that could possibly save one life. Or are we just bystanders while people perish. Motorcycles don’t kill people, ignorance on the part of all involved is to blame. Every life is important, and as a civilized society we cannot stand and do nothing. I call for stricter licensing of riders, mandatory check ride and yearly refresher training with the penalty of motorcycle impound for non compliance. OH I FORGOT, THIS ADMINISTRATION IS TOO BUSY ABOUT OTHER THINGS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT ITS CITIZENS!!!

      How about the citizens taking responsibility for themselves? Stop the dependency syndrome even your own life you want somebody to be responsible for? What next?

      Don that is all you people do…… blame… blame game. Cannot talk with commonsense without saying the government. All your issues at your home is the Government is causing. They have to do their duties plus ensure you and others do yours. So they have to post policemen all over the place to ensure that everyone wear their helmet, flush their toilet, etc . Ridiculous many are wearing their ridiculous statements with a badge of honour. No one now is responsible for their actions …. it is always the government or vendors better PM Roosevelt Skerritt.
