Attorney for the family of Keyan Alexander, is raising suspicion over the police report of his death and believes that it may be a case of extrajudicial killing.
Speaking to the media late Tuesday afternoon, Tiyani Bihanzin, who is representing the family of the deceased man, stated that sometime after 7 a.m. that day, the family was asked to come to identify the body of Alexander who it is said, abducted 12-year-old Kernisha Etienne from her home in Warner about 11:30 p.m. on June 7.
Alexander, a resident of Belles, was shot by the police on June 18, 2022, on day 11 of their search for him and the missing child. The police said he was armed with a cutlass which was approximately three feet long.
According to Behanzin, he arrived, with the family, at the hospital sometime after midday and they were given instructions on how they should proceed from an officer dressed in army fatigues who presented himself as the person in charge.
“His instruction was that the family, which would be the brother and the mother, would be able to enter the autopsy room, identify the body, then proceed to inspect the body,” the lawyer stated.
He went on to explain, “The reason why the family is interested in inspecting the body, is because he has certain distinguishable marks on the body and they want to ensure that those were seen and that the area of injury, which have yet to be publicly disclosed by police, could be seen in their own eyes. “
Behanzin goes on to say that moments before, while the family was preparing to put on the protective clothing to enter the room, another officer appeared and gave “completely contradictory” instructions.
“He suggested that they should run in the room, see the face and run back out,” the attorney revealed.
He said when the family requested clarity on what should be done, the officers went to a back room where they proceeded to make several phone calls.
The lawyer said that he too made several unsuccessful attempts to get in contact with the chief of police and other top-ranking officers to ascertain the instructions that were given.
“The family [has] been waiting here for more than four hours to carry out what normally takes five minutes to accomplish and complete and it seems to me, that this is clear shenanigans by the police, given the fact that nobody is clear as to where the individual has been shot,” Behanzin noted. “So it cannot be that the family is told to come and identify and we’re sitting here with no other instruction to clarify the contradiction between the two sets of instructions, and expect the family to remain here.”
He said it was suspicious that the state was prepared to undergo an autopsy without the family’s involvement, and “very unusual”, to also show the body to the jury at the inquest in the morning before it had been identified by the family.
“The jury is normally shown the body in the presence of the family who identifies the body. That is unlawful conduct. It may be that we bend things here because we’re a country that is used to this kind of behaviour and conduct where nothing is important, not even the Constitution or whatever principles or requirements that that document suggests that the conduct should be,” Behanzin stated. “So I’m not surprised, but it seems to me that this may be an example of an extrajudicial killing. And we are saying and we are asking the public, to please be mindful, be cognizant of what is going on here, because it can happen to anybody.”
Bihanzin stated that such “shenanigans” are unacceptable, and only prove that there may be some kind of “machinations taking place, and masquerade as if there is some interest in injustice. “
“We remain vigilant to ensure that the family receives the questions and answers that they want. But this is beginning to look like extra-judicial killing, “ he said.
The veteran lawyer continued, “The same way the police said that under the injuries that this individual may have sustained, he gave a long explanation as to where this child may be found, now we’re suspicious of that because if the gentleman had received the injuries that we suspect he has sustained, I don’t know in what capacity at all you’ll be able to give any statement.”
He said all of this only serves as a distraction from finding the missing 12-year-old.
The police reported that in committing the offence, Alexander went to the home of his uncle, Laurent Joseph Bruno, the adopted father of Kernisha Etienne, and attacked him with a cutlass inflicting serious wounds to his head and face, before leaving with the girl.
Keyan’s death was a dumb move on the police’s part. Why would they kill him without having the child? He needed to be strategically tracked(they did that) and thoroughly questioned until the child’s whereabouts would be known.
Killing him was a mistake- police officers are trained to de-escalate situations, but not to use force firstly.
This lawyer is setting precedent for police brutality cases to come through the courts. Sadly, if he is successful in his work; then, the people of Dominica may have to pay for future police misconduct lawsuits.
I am backing the police 100% if a madman or woman coming at me with a dangerous weapon and I have my gun at large I would shoot the life out of that bastard for sure.But on the other hand no one knows how that nasty kidnapper of a 12 year old girl died, I also believe her mother and ugly Lenny, has something going on there I would not put anything passed that monster 👹 and his blue monkeys.
Stop speculating and go Belles to find out what was going on before the kidnapping. Find out what he was saying before the kidnapping. So all the talk about he will never hurt the child is pure wicked. The people that are close to him afraid of him but he won’t hurt the child? really?? According to his family he is mentally ill plus demon possess that combination is not loving and caring but death and destruction. The child was kidnapped with a cutlass over her head and the uncle injured. And yes the police is to be blamed for not taking the calls from family and the people from Belles seriously before all this transpired. I hope this will be a lesson to do better in the future especially the police. Please give the family Kian body and stop with all the drama let them bury their child.
I believe this is a bigger case than just “police are bad at their job”. YES, the police force needs to be better trained, however there is an urgent need for better mental illness care in the country!
This incident has brought to the fore our attitude and treatment, as a nation, of the mentally ill among us.
Let me say this. There is a very thin line between sanity and insanity. It doesn’t take much to cross this thin line. if anyone of us happens to become insane, would we like the disdain and horrible treatment to be meted out to us?
Mental illness is prevalent not only in our society but the entire world. Instead of teasing, harassing and scorning these people. We need to show them more compassion and care. More pressure should be put on government to do much better to rehabilitate these suffering people.
You are sitting right between the line old man please dont cross the line if you have not. You maybe already cross the line. Your writings depicts you have!!!!! IBO
There is a very thin line between sanity and insanity!!!!!!!
Another Muslim lawyer and his extrajudicial killing on the rise. Money-hungry, grasping lawyers. You are clad in the right clothes – go find the impressionable and vulnerable young girl and stop worrying about money, my learned friend.
@ds, how cold hearted and uncaring of you to not care about the pain and grief of the family of Keyan. The law makes provision for the family to be represented at the autopsy and that’s what the lawyer is doing. You, as part of the cabal don’t care much for abiding by the coded laws on the books in the country. Your submission here points to more of the same, to hell with abiding by the law, and instead you can only see the lawyer as money hungry. How do you know that his service isn’t pro bono. You seem to care about the little girl but won’t even express grief and sorrow for her distraught family. Your hypocrisy is like a candle on a hill. All you can do is hurl insult and descend in the gutter.
Why do you think everyone in the US is waiting on a Wealfare Check. Did you apply when you lived there and they turned you down? Shame on you some are doing exceptionally great in the US….. Old Ibo.. You were after the PM children’s place of birth and their sky miles. Is’nt there some kind of jealousy. Here is a secret. PM said you do nothing for him so that CRUSH you have on him it is time to pack it…….
I have always said that Ibo France is infatuated with Skerrit. Suspicious Minds. He is another LGBTQ hiding in the closet until Skerrit makes it legal in Dominica. My bogus degrees are making me live comfortably and happily in America, nice house, nice cars, nice pay check. I love it. My family lives in a posh white neighborhood and, we are loving it. Thanks to the monthly Welfare Voucher. Sadly, I have to work for it everyday. But, dat’s life. De man makes Skerrit look like the Elvis Presley of Dominica. What an Accolade. I love it. Down the road I look and here comes Ibo, lips like Cherry, to touch, the green, green grass of home. Yes, they all.
@Sharon S, you just expressed how shallow you are and your lack of logic to express that “everyone in the US is waiting on a welfare check”. How ignorant and stupid. Do you know how many millionaires are in the US? There are many, including me, who don’t and won’t need a welfare check. Yes, some in the US like in many places around the world including Dominca fall on difficult times and need support of their Government. However in Dominca, there are just too many people depending on the government. As the US economy goes, so goes the economy of most countries in the world. The US can afford the welfare checks. Go figure. Do some research on the percentage of Americans who are on welfare.
Don’t bother with Sharon. Presumably just another one of Skerrits chamber mates. What a corrupt lot!
Rubbish! Sewage! Garbage! Nonsense! Foolishness! as expected from a fool with bogus degrees like his idol.
If you were paid for the dumbness you write, you would have been a multi-billionaire at this stage in your dependency life. You are in the USA waiting on your next Welfare voucher.
If everything for you is garbage and sewage, why don’t you be a plumber? Man shall not live by bread alone, so, if we can’t live by work cheques, we had better live by welfare vouchers. How good it feels when you don’t work and yet you expect a welfare voucher check in the mail at every month-end. That’s what makes the world go round and round.
Every picture tells a story , please look at the three members of family in that picture something stinks not quite right the child mother should be taken in to be questions in my eyes, and what about ugly Lenny, that guy is rotten right down to his backside even a toilet brush could not clean his single brain, God what have we done to deserve that nasty piece of work ugly Lenny.
Mr Dog mess he has more decency and class than you will ever have. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
@XXM, I personally know much more about ugly Lenny, than you and many others know about Lenny, we were boys together in pottersville, this guy is a ravin looney monster 👹 created by Edison James, he as well is a very evil person dirty jam rag.
Yes Jonathan,the police are lying today.Did they lie when Jno,Rose Lindsay was murdered at police headquarters,and his body thrown down a precipice at Leper Home?Go through the names of those police officers who were charged and arrested,and tell us if one is your twin brother.Tell us whether the police lied to save his A.The police are lying now but they did not lie in the Jno,Rose Lindsay matter?HYPOCRITE.
@Lin clown, I, Jonathan, was never ever a member of the police force in Dominca. I’ll not hold back pointing out the cover-up by the police even if my twin brother was a member of the force. Now go through the court records and present evidence that my brother was implicated in the death of Mr Lindsay. There is none. Someone else was found guilty and sentenced to jail for the death. At least there was a trial and there was accountability. The country is still waiting for the justice for the deaths in police custody since Carbon became chief and Skerritt the prime minister. My twin brother was honored by the country for his service to country and keeping the vow he took. I’m waiting for you to present your facts about the conviction of my brother. You keep bringing up your nonsense thinking it will make me shut up? I accept responsibility for what I do. Everyone is responsible for what they do. Jonathan was never a policeman.
Don’t be surprised if this turns out to be a big embarrassment for the Dominica police force just like de Choksi affair!
De same actors in a similar movie!
Some people went moo moo when de dpp pull back de Choksi case in secret……de moo moo AG never said a word to dis day.
Kernisha…… you know all de people dat show you love in this life little princess!!!!
Mr Behanzin what proof do you have that this may have been an extrajudicial killing…???
Ohhh M G. The police claimed the man was shot in his legs, the clothes on the man’s body are blood soaked. What more proof you need that something nefarious occurred… I am not surprised because your take on the situation is so simple it leads one to conclude that your deductive and inductive capabilities must be on the outlier of the bell curve!!
And what proof do YOU have that it wasn’t? We Ned an independent inquiry.
We need to find this child. That’s all that matters.
I disagree vehemently with your remarks. Yes, finding the child is of utmost important, and should definitely be the top primary at this time.
However, ignoring the bungling of the search and rescue mission by the law men should be of concern also. If we just ignore this, we are bound to make similar mistakes in the future.
Accountability for mistakes made in this case is also crucially important.
@Lin clown, I, Jonathan, was never ever a member of the police force in Dominca. I’ll not hold back pointing out the cover-up by the police even if my twin brother was a member of the force.

@Jenner Thomas, you are simply minded to say that we complicated beings, Homo sapiens, can only do one thing at a time. No, we don’t only have to focus on the missing child, we can also at the same time focus on perceived miscarriage of justice for Keyan and his family. Yes, we need to find the missing child and lend our collective support to her family but we can’t forget the family of Keyan. At least he was a human being, a sick one at that.
All i am saying Skipp don’t wish that on anyone else yhe Police of course needs to be transparent.
@Eagle-Eyed, you are a monster to express that you care nothing about a mentally sick individual who was killed at the hands of the police. In the dark ages mentally ill people would be assumed to be possessed by Satan and their lives meant little to nothing, however with modern understanding and medicine educated people know that mentally ill people deserve compassion and treatment. Go hide under a rock you lack compassion and intelligence. The police report of the kidnapping told us that Keyan was mentally ill. Dominca is being given a bad image with your ignorant rant about the killing of the sick individual. What a shame.
@jonathan Y St Jean, here is my one sentence reply: What if it was your daughter?
@Eagle-Eyed, If she was my daughter I’d be devastated that the inept police allowed the mentally ill man to terrorize the society for a long time and didn’t do anything and now my child is in agony. I’d be mad at the police, the minister of National Security and the prime minister who have not prioritized mental health and allowed this fiasco. Also the minister of Health and fancy names not living up to the sub- titles of the ministry. I would pray for my child and encourage the public to continue searching for her. I would also reach out to the family of Keyan and express empathy for their loss. My brain can do a lot of things so I wouldn’t simply focus on finding my child but would try to be as normal and hopeful as I could be. Hope that answers your question and lets you see I’m a complicated individual who doesn’t have to focus on one thing only. I’d also offer a reward for her safe return and ask for an inquiry into the mess of an operation we’ve seen so far.
@Zandoli, don’t you know that there is egg all over the faces of the police and the government. They lied about the death of the guy from Kingshill in police custody, they lied about the kidnapping of Choksi. You are free to believe carte blanche what the police report considering that recently they’ve lied to the public. I am skeptical considering the lies told to me and in the five seconds press statement by acting police chief,Caret, there are holes in the timeline he gave about the events leading to the death of Keyan. Do you have a conscience? You want to family of Keyan to forget about him and focus on the missing child. I’m sure that they can do both, grieve for their loved one who was a sick person and assist in some way to find the missing child. Why are some people so damn disingenuous and only appear to care about one side when two families are in peril and grief. Damn hypocrisy.
Dominica has become a countryt of hateful, vile, venomous, evil people! Just look at there expresion of hate bat they are all hoping to get to heaven. What would Jesus have done, my people? What would Jesus do?
Well bro. , Jesus died, killed by his own but obviously that was not enough. So don’t ask what Jesus would do, he’s dead. Ask what you would do instead.
This is another movie played on the large screen and the starrings are the old ones that have performed so many movies before. Look:
I don’t believe Kenisha is dead or in no house in Belles
I believe Keyan was deliberately killed by the police because he had dirt on top brass
I am not even sure I believe the whole adoption story of the police that Keyan Alexander abducted her and run away after he had cut the face of the adoptive father
I believe the government and senior officers of the police know more about the truth of the story than the Lies they want us to believe
This story given by the police is a duplicate of the Mehul Choksi abduction lies that they attempted to sell to us. The only difference was Choksi was too rich too powerful and they didn’t find a paro to blame and later to kill like they did to Keyan Alexander.
Whatever becomes of the fate of Kenisha Ettienne I hold top brass of the government and police responsible and all Dominicans should hold…
The family of the deceased and the majority of the population want truthful answers to the cover-up in making of the killing of a mentally ill citizen at the hands of the trigger-happy, gun toting snipers.
Roosevelt, by his gross ineptitude and callouness, is taking Dominica down a lavatory. But, in my honest opinion, he is not the worst in Dominica.
The WORST in Dominica are the ignorant, gullible, indolent, and selfish electors. Over and over again, around the nigh of a general election, these people are offered crumbs from the passport money, given a free salty ham and an injected turkey. In their exuberance for pittance from the devil’s table, they forget their last five years of excruciating Labour pain and reward their oppressor with five more years in government.
Corruption, treating, cheating, bribery, intimidation, false promises, temporary jobs, undeserved promotions, all these and many more corrupt dealings, help to keep the habitual LIAR in power.
You know in law, the term extrajudicial killing also known as extrajudicial execution or extralegal killing is the killing of a person by governmental authorities without the sanction of any judicial proceeding or legal process, other than in lawful military and police operations; in which “they often target political, trade union, dissident, religious and social figures.”
Now, since the abductor does not fall in any of the category’s I quoted, it seems to me that Tiyani should insists on an investigative inquiry in regard to the killing of the abductor, because this might be a clear case of murder!
If in fact the person was mentally ill as they claim, the police should be caution as they execute their actions.
We anticipate extrajudicial execution, only in place such as in communists’ countries, such as North Korea, Russia, China, and other totalitarian states!
Is Dominica a totalitarian or communists state?
You and your hallucinations as to what you think Dominica is, lol. When will you express a rational opinion on this forum. Have you ever questioned the Authorities in the State you live in when a mentally ill person is shot or killed by the Police. The Country you live in does it not carry out extrajudicial execution and when it does, do you equate such action to totalitarian or Communist state.
You do not have to tell us in law, what extrajudicial killing
means, the meaning of such a word is one thing, but proving such word is relevant to describe the actions of the police is another thing. The law does not operate on the whims of words used for political convince by you, so long for your never ending hallucinations.
Whether I write comments that are rational, or irrational, you will never know the difference; because you lack understanding, your comprehension depends on your instincts of the day!
Humans operate off their God given senesces, while another lessor, inferior, species operate off their instincts; you seem to belong in that category.
I assure you Gary, that I am of a higher intelligence than you okay; there is absolutely no comparisons between you and I academically. The nonsensical garbage you spew cannot fade me; the more the scums of the earth attempt to put me down; all you all accomplish is proving how stupid and uneducated you are.
Garbage in garbage out!
Ponder on this as I took some time to do, when one of my cousins introduce me to this: ” The crab does not bite, it’s his handshake that hurts. (African Proverb).
You are ignorant about lots of things Gary which a smart phone will never teach you; there are lots of idiots with smart phone playing smart.
The real crime here is that his family isn’t being held responsible for his actions, now look what we got. They want to come and profit from it meanwhile they can’t find the real victim in this. U know people need to stop and think before they do things.
Shut up; how the hell his family can be held accountable for his crime?
Jah put a helping hand
KID,if it was in the US,Keyan family,his lawyer,Matt and all those who are against the killing of Kenyan,would have to seek protection.We are talking about a 12 year girl.
Skipp here is where Sharon S is out smarting you.You cannot hang a madman or lock him up for life.
Ello,if he is a mental person as you say he cannot be sent to prison.He has to be sent to a mental institution.Ask Dr IBO France.
There is a special place in HELL for people like MATT… This guy is an instigator and a gynecologist. Can anyone remember the NEDDLES episode?
Here comes the very predictable. Roosevelt’s minions and diehard operatives trying desperately to change the narrative. They are attempting to shift responsibility for the present fiasco from the dysfunctional plutocracy and the inept security forces to Keyan’s parents and their lawyer. Perverts, they all are!
How unreasonable it is to expect these two elderly people to control a strong, gigantic, young man with severe mental issues? They (parents) solicited the assistance of the police ,and the relevant authorities numerous times but to no avail.
The lack of adequate and proper facilities, medical personnel and services for the mentally ill is the primary cause for these specific difficulties and emotional pain.. The morally challenged and amateurish government should accept culpability.
lbo, I have to agree with you once again, it would appear as if they are indeed attempting to change the narrative. I also must say I am against the way the police gun down the abductor.
He was also human; but killing him and not trying to extract information from him that might have lead to the finding of the child is unconscionable!
I believe if the police wanted to apprehend that guy, they could have done so; having a three feet long cutlass, “Machete ” as the police claimed should not be threatening enough to give the police sufficient reason to murdering him if that was their intention all along.
There should be an inquiry in order to find the truth.
It appear as if the child is forgotten whereas all attention is focused on the parent of the criminal; he is dead; we know that; but, what about the child whose whereabouts is unknown at the moment?
The parent of the kid requires the most empathy!
All of you posing in the above picture should be jailed, period. Are you all not concerned about this 12 year girl that has been kidnaped by that monster and no one knows of her whereabouts IN THE WILDERNESS? These parents should be charged for aiding and abetting. Go in the US and try to pull a knife, a toy gun, or any weapon on a police and see if you’ll ever live to see another day. This monster charged at the police with a 3 feet cutlass and the police should do nothing. That lawyer should be charged for child negligence and endangerment. Just look t their faces. All look guilty. Guiltiness marked on your conscience. BAN MURDERA! Why don’t you all get your butts in the bushes and help look for this innocent molested little girl!?
Kid on block shut up; in America if a black person; woman, man, boy or girl point a weapon, or no weapon on a white police, one would be lucky not to be, murdered: assassinated by a white police.
Nevertheless, we see white criminals, pointing guns at white police officers, who pampers the white criminals into surrender without harming them in any way; never mind killing them.
We saw a situation where a supposedly white kid and a Black kid got into an alteration is a store the police was called, the white kid immediately put his hands out to be handcuff, telling the officer, he is the aggressor, who started the fight.
She ordered him to sit down and shut-up, while shackling the Black kid who simply defended himself.
So, it not true the crap you are talking!
Francisco, you finally awaken from your dungeon? Who unblocked the door for you?
@Kid On The Block, you are speaking about things you don’t know anything about when you suggest that if those who criticize the police were in America and accosted by the police they would be shot dead. Yes, if Blacks encounter police in America, even when they comply with police instructions many are still killed by the police, however, many White’s who do worse and attack police are not killed by the police. There are videos on line to prove that police ran away from White’s who attacked them. Check it out yourself. The child has to looked for under instructions from the police. We shall not accept the police lies and conflicting timelines pertaining to the killing of Keyan and say let’s move on. No!!. A sick human being who was supposed to receive protection and service by the police is also dead at the hands of the police and we want clear accountability. First was lies about Choksi and the guy from Kingshill, now it’s lying about Keyan. Enough, it’s got to stop.
I couldn’t give a s**t about how this monster’s life ended(good riddance), my main concern is about the welfare of his innocent victim who is yet to be found (dead or alive). If his lawyer and family seeking information about his demise, they should be held accountable for the fate of the little girl. Can we get some answers from them? Otherwise they should just shut their faces. The monster deserve to die. It’s just a pity the girl is still missing and can be presumed dead until she is found.
@Eagle-Eyed, you are a monster to express that you care nothing about a mentally sick individual who was killed at the hands of the police. In the dark ages mentally ill people would be assumed to be possessed by Satan and their lives meant little to nothing, however with modern understanding and medicine educated people know that mentally ill people deserve compassion and treatment. Go hide under a rock you lack compassion and intelligence. The police report of the kidnapping told us that Keyan was mentally ill. Dominca is being given a bad image with your ignorant rant about the killing of the sick individual. What a shame.
Wait until monstrosity comes knocking on your doorstep. Do you have children?
Do you have family or are you solo pinko from Mars or Jupiter?
Then mental instability will be genuine.
A sad situation & just judging, spreading news they are not sure of (hearsay), not an eyewitness to anything.
All condemning killings overseas and her them “Black lives matter” but in the same breath acting as though they have mental health issues too – unstable. Even worse than Keyan. With so much hate that they condone the killing of the one person who is the primary key to getting to the child. Unstable thinking people who cannot objectively analyze anything. That is also a mental health issue. Are you all concerned about the child? it does not seem so. Let the parent of the dead mentally unstable man do what they have to do. Before most of you use the media to spew out your hateful heart, get your boots and go search. Pray too. Clean your hearts/minds, repent, and show empathy – sad isn’t…
I get that we all want to know the location of the girl but it’s also the right of keyan’s family get the answers they are looking for.
Both individuals are citizens of the Commonwealth of Dominica. And just a the law is standing for Kernisha, it should also stand for keyan. I get what he did was wrong. But his penalty should the given as time in prison rather than death.
We should take mental health much more seriously and the law has to stand for both individuals in this situation.
Good day.
If he didn’t take the person child today his as. would be alive them lawyers money hungry f… u were when he took the person child
Are you for real? Remember they are all family – Kernisha adopted father is Keyan’s uncle and you forgot he has mental health issues too. Are you solo pinko from Mars or Jupiter? No relatives too? Well if so then you can speak so. Hope this common mental issues do not hit anyone close to you.
I always say that it is better to keep quiet than to say things that shows that we may also have mind issues (mental health issues).
This is sad for the family who incidentally is the same all around. This is indeed sad but it gets sadder when persons show hatred for someone who is ill. Put yourself in the shoes of all who this is impacting and tell me if it is not so sad. Then breaking the key to open the door is even sadder to showing more mental health issues and it seems worse than Keyan’s mental health issues.
It is easy to talk when the shoe is on the other foot. No empathy for anyone just sensational people which also depicts mental health issues. Judgemental…
Well said ME.. I agree with you. Where were all these people to talk with him to bring the child back. Now so much comess. They are blaming everyone but themselves. They should have put Kermisha for adoption if they did not want her. Such a beautiful child I can feel what she must have gone through. My God. Now the Lawyer trying to make a BOX and blaming everyone but themselves. Back off and help find the child this IRKS me…What a stupid group of people living in Dominica. The Police are real people with family too. SXhould they stay there and get their heads cut off. Then we will have a Pilgrimage. Oh such hate in this little country………
Individuals ought to recognized that only the adopted parents and the Keyan know that truth about what actually happened. The lawyer did say something that is of absolute truth “this situation can happen to anybody”. I am of the view that the police are part to be blamed for this ordeal as had the individual been alive, the public would have been introduced to some level of truth in this matter. The utilization of rubber bullets, by multiple officers would in my opinion been effective in capturing this individual alive.
Since you know so much maybe you should join the force and help them
All of you posing in the above picture should be jailed, period. Are you all not concerned about this 12 year girl that has been kidnaped by that monster and no one knows of her whereabouts IN THE WILDERNESS? These parents should be charged for aiding and abetting. Go in the US and try to pull a knife, a toy gun, or any weapon on a police and see if you’ll ever live to see another day. This monster charged at the police with a 3 feet cutlass and the police should do nothing. That lawyer should be charged for child negligence and endangerment. Just look t their faces. All look guilty. Guiltiness marked on your conscience. BAN MURDER! Why don’t you all get your butts in the bushes and help look for this innocent molested little girl!?
@KID ON THE BLOCK
June 22, 2022- Was it a 3feetor 2 feet cutlass- Was he shot in his leg as Corbette publicly said? No-one is supporting Kian for what he did but we are a nation of laws and that means the police are not he judge, prosecutor jury and executioner. Please keep quiet with your angry self Kid. Next time it will be your son or cousin and then you will know.
Shame on you I hope no one goes thru that especially not his son!!!! SKIPP the man says how he feels andmake sense the cutlass maybe bigger than 3ft who knows. Stopo putting him down for speaking the truth….We Dominicians!!!
@Sharon S: if you believe the Dominican police then I have a bridge to sell you in Layou at a bargain basement price.
What about the other men who met their deaths’ in police custody?
Sharon you dont know or understand what you are talking about.
So if Kian was alive I would be the first to petition the court hang him or luck him up for life and throw away the keys.,
The fate of the man is for the courts not for a police force.- hope the next run in your cousin had with the Dominican police he is not dead- and that is the issue.
All i am saying Skipp don’t wish that on anyone else yhe Police of course needs to be transparent.
Keyan is a madman of unsound mind.I would like to Know what Jonathan,IBO,Views expressed and Francisco-dog would do to get Keyan to say where the 12 old child is.It is people like the above mentioned,who have been Judge,Jury,and executioner and have imprisoned and hanged innocent people because you do not agree with them.A UWP ahole suggested tranquilizing Keyan
@Lin clown, I would have professionals who have training and knowledge on how to handle mentally ill people to do their job after he was captured alive. You can’t do anything but burry a dead man.
I agreed with you. Come at the Police with your Cell phone they would shoot to kill. Why can’t the law ask for the video that Dominica Breaking News publiced for 5 mins. People needs to know what happened. The Police were in Dire need of help or they would be dead….What do you expect? He could have fling that weapon and kill the police. OMG Dominicians. They had no choice…..Charging at them this way…A mad man does nothing like this it appears like a demond posses man. Ok then show that VID… People needs to see what happens. It could be a Police posted that Vid. I saw that vid with my two eyes…..
You didn’t advance very far in school, did you? But the CM doesn’t like his supporters to be to bright. Now fling the cutlass…?!
This KID and Dog Abuser are two empty vessels. Both are equally allergic to common sense. Their thought process is extremely irrational which indicates to me that wild weeds and shrubs grow on their tiny, sandy, porous brains.
You are the one who keeps making all that noise day in and day out. No sooner a news breaks out than you are already on the bandwagon running your mouth about Skerrit. So, who is the empty vessel making the most noise?Stop running your mouth, put your boots on and your home-clothes and go help find the 12 year old girl in the bushes and bring her back to her concerned family. Your convoluted brains are made of sawdust and cow manure. I am sick of you and Francisco talking pure rubbish and nothing useful and helpful. That Francisco got 4 scientific degrees and, he cannot do any scientific research in helping to locate the poor, young, and vulnerable girl. All he can boast of are his dumb cars, his pretentious house and his big fake salary.
But you crazy ds; I am elated that you are sick and tired of me!
That means I’m in full dominance, and control of your feeble mind; you are weak, and I see a jealousy too, if you were not an ignorant wast of time you would not be talking crap about me doing scientific research to find girl.
I am a trained Electronic/Electronic Engineer, along with a medical background – with a series of pieces of Real Estate; my Cars, and homes are earned; I did not steal one ounce of what I own.
When I die my children will inherit, they will not be looking over their shoulders wondering if government and the police will be investigating them (and Roosevelt Skerrit eh)!
Hahahahahahahahahahahah!
My children and I can give account as to where we get our accumulated wealth; your boy Roosevelt can’t say from whence one cent of his wealth came from!
As for you they tell me you poor like a church mouse.
You all had chopper and untrained K9 farting say looking for the child, is that science?
Please read what you wrote old man’

Who needs to know all this… I am sure you owe UNCLE SAM and not as wealthy as you said.. Boasta…..MASH!!!!
“I am a trained Electronic/Electronic Engineer,”
I meant I am a trained “Electronic/Electrical Engineer; that is perhaps my greatest accdemic achievement; what about yours ds?
You lie and made the claim that have all sort of degree in accounting, then you change to something else; all lies nuh!
Your degree is in defending the corrupted crook Roosevelt Skerrit.
The time is soon approaching when all they thief from the government treasury, and from the sale passports will have to be accounted for.
I hope you will not be shedding tears for that known thief eh!
Keith in Grenada, thought he had a monopoly, to run Grenada; but in one day a political shock-wave blew over the island, and and Keith Mitchel is history.
Chichi Royer, the father of a certain Prime minister once said his son wants what Kieth have; I wonder if doctor Chichi want his son to have what Kieth have today?
Dominicans need to give Roosevelt the gift Keith received yesterday.
Man, you had me bursting in laughter. My wife even asked me if I am crazy and whether she should take me to see a doctor right away. I told her know. It is just my emotions that have taken over me just seeing a church mouse in my bedroom. Should I blame Fr. Paul for that church mouse in my bedroom? Then he drives me to church hospital and tells me make sure my doctor goes to church. Why are all these people dying in California from Covid when you have a medical background? It does not make any sense. Was it a correspondence medical background? How could you have a medical condition when you have a medical background? It does not make sense. Did you get that medical background whilst you were in jail?
ds, I am going to cause you to laugh even more; in the first place I don’t believe you have any wife.
Because if you have a wife you are paying much more attention to Roosevelt Chichi Royer Skerrit, than your invisible wife eh!
Anyway; laugh at this: “I am crazy and whether she should take me to see a doctor right away. I told her know. ”
ds; be informed that the word “know” is to know something it implies: to be aware through observation, inquiry, or information.
On the contrary, the term “no” is used to give a negative response, such as rejecting a request ‘no indeed absolutely not.’
Used as a VERB one may contend they were no more able to perform to finish the game.
Let me see how you going to defend against this one oui!
All you can do now is call me some nasty name !
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Old man got medical conditions like claustrophobia, so, we will excuse him. He cannot fly, all he do is lie.
I do know the difference between know and no. It was just a typing error, ….. Again, my emotions took over me reading your crap and caused me to blunder as we all do sometimes. I hope you take care of your medical conditions with your 4 scientific, fake degrees.
What did I predict ds, didn’t I predict “All you can do now is call me some nasty name!”
Boy you all Dominicans are nothing but a bunch of waste of time; your best conversation is about Roosevelt Skerrit, defending and upholding his corruption; outside of your all no value politics, …………………..
So we went from being concerned about the missing child to worrying about how a madman meet his end. All because there’s a bunch of people with a political axe to grind. smh
There we go, shenanigans, machinations and masquerades. This sums up todays Militia of Dominica under the command of the CM. I suspect they will get away with it again because it happened several times before. The only reason they get away with it because they will be backed up by the courts which are also being controlled by the CM. I wish Behanzin and the family a lot of luck but at the same time I’m not holding my breath. Unfortunately my Dominica has been degraded to a pariah state by just one man. Having said that, all you lovers of this CM should ask yourself one question, why did HE get involved? I can tell you one thing, there is more than meets the eye. There was a very pressing reason why this man had to be silenced. Think about it!
Perhaps the family should spend a little more time worrying about the little girl that is still missing.
If what I read is correct, they police shot at his legs. That to me is not a bunch of trigger happy cops who wanted to kill someone. It looks like they were trying to stop him when he came at them with a cutlass. Over here, the cops shot at the upper torso – to kill. Killing that suspect does them no good in trying to get information about the child’s whereabouts.
@Zandoli- There you go again- self serving arrogant man- this is not about Kian its about the rule of law.– Glad that you have it made Zandoli.
Keith when you are charged with a weapon Hell with the law. Rubber bullets or not if you are down and the opponent is charging at you you will save your life you don’t stand there aiming T the legs you shoot to avoid getting your head off.
@ Keith….you seem to have some serious issues brother. Get help.
Here we go again DISSIDENT,another UWP lying JACKA.In the Portsmouth incident,all the police officers involved were charged and arrested.Some of them spent as much as 3 years remanded at Stock FarmThe police dept was sued by Sgt.Morgan for wrongful arrest..In the case of Police Headquarters killing,a Supt,was charged,arrested and suspended.He is now awaiting trial.To say there was no investigation in those matters is a lie.Nothing better is expected from a bunch of lazy,lying supporters of UWP.They are making political milage of the disappearance of a 12 year old In the USA the family,lawyer,Matt,q95 and all those using the child would be made TARGETS.In the US of A we don’t play by our children.
There was not cutlas
Zandoli, yours is the smartest comment I am reading on this board. I am thinking the same thing as you. Alexander was a madman, with whatever the length of the cutlass that he was carrying to protect himself, or even to foolishly scare people around him for no reason at all.
The Police eventually find him, because of what he did, with that same length of the cutlass. What were they supposed to do? Walk up to him with a hug to arrest him? O dear!
I read the same thing as you did; that they shot at him in the leg, to weaken him from escaping the arrest, what else could they have done?
Maybe they rough him up a bit to get him to speak; he could have lied to them for that reason. I wish he didn’t have to die, because we still do not know the whereabout of Kernisha, but I think that this Lawyer, as usual, and Alexander’s people are full of rubbish.
A 12 year old girl is missing because of that Alexander person, do they care about that fact?
@elizavethlxavier, you can continue to believe carte blanche everything that the incompetent police say, it’s your right. However, as someone who loves to wear their love of God, truth and justice in all their submissions on DNO, you must acknowledge that the police lied about the matter involving the man from Kingshill killed in their custody, they lied about the illegal entry and kidnapping of Choksi, they lied about Monfared being in Dominca as an honorable guest of the cabal. There are untruths in the timeline of the report given by acting police chief in the killing of Keyan and yet you want to swallow hook, line and sinker the police account of what happened. I’m not buying it. The police are seeking to thwart the process for the autopsy and the presence of family members and red flags don’t go up for you? God doesn’t like ugly. You know it. Shame on you.
money is the root of all evil. I am wondering if this lawyer has a child. The whole story of the child is suspicious. Every body associated with this child should be investigated. Father, adopted parents Keyon’s family the community of Warner and others, who knows if this will not happens to another innocent child. The life you might save might be mine yours and others. Please if you know something for God’s sake and Kernisha’s sake say something .
The Vid was played 5 to 6 mins then it was gone….not 56 mins…
someone posted a video of Kyan being captured one hour after he was captured on Dominica Breaking News. I saw it with my two eyes.. He was swinging the cutlass at the police.Up and Down and walking towards them one of the police fell and he was coming at the Police with the cutlass and then he was shot. Please someone check with Dominica breaking news. He looked real out of it the cutlass difinetly looked like an AXE very long….The Vid stayed 56mins and then they took it down. Four other police wer kind of lind up avoiding their heads cut off. Why did Dominica Breaking News took it down. It could have been evidence and then it could be the Gov’t who took it down. Please someone investigate……This would solve lots of problem, Kyan looked very sick. Slender he had something blue not red…..Why are they hiding…..
Present day Dominica and its leader, Roosevelt, remind me of North Korea and Kim Jong-un. I’m serious.
Democratic practices are non-existent; the police force is the epitome of brutality; the political leader lavishes the finances and resources of the state on himself, wife and children; brutality and false arrests are used to intimidate, suppressed and oppressed the population; the residents are pauperized and reduced to beggars while the leader and his immediate family live like arisstocrats.
All this suffering and impoverishment is deliberately orchestrated by one man, Roosevelt, in order for him, his wife and his children to live in unimaginable opulence.
This will continue as long as the media, business sector, clergy, the law fraternity, and most of civil society remain inexplicably indifferent to all the atrocities, illegalities and criminality.
Utter foolishness as usual from this ……
We dealing with a real situation and all you ….. can talk about is politics.
It’s your foolish political support for a supremely unfit guy that has the country in a perpetual state of political turbulence and social deprivation.
The guy was killed by police, very unfortunate i’ll admit, be it an accident or he attacked them. However, I believe our focus should be on the STILL missing child that he abducted and started this whole thing. You want to fight for your child, I get it, but what about the person child that your child abducted and still yet to be found? Your child sow in justice on a 12 year old so if he did reap it…well you know what they say…”What goes around…”
Dominica is a unique place for all the wrong reasons. It’s a place where the leader of government has no respect for the constitution; the justice system dispenses injustice to victims; public affairs are shrouded in complete darkness; police breach an active parliament with guns drawn; billions of the country’s money are held in escrow in overseas jurisdictions. The list of peculiarities is infinite.
A simple procedure of allowing the family members of the deceased to identify the body of their loved one has been denied and inexplicably becomes a complicated mess.
Let me repeat once again because it is a truism. When the leader of a country is corrupt the whole country becomes corrupt.
We have been heading down a slippery slope since Roosevelt obtained the apex position in government. Dominicans, fasten your seatbelts as the ride will get progressively worse.Dominica is beyond doubt a pariah country!
So because Skerrit not on island dem police don’t know how to?
I agree with de lawyer.
Dat was my suspicion…… extrajudicial killing.
Certain individuals died in police custody under questioning in de past…… never had any investigation!
If they have all dat comess for de family to identify keyan…….de police hiding something and de young man and his family are not getting justice!!!!!!!
So Skerrit go Rwanda with justice in his briefcase?
Kernisha mother never got any justice upon her disappearance years ago now see what happens to a baby girl she left behind.
Skerrit and de government have failed kernisha in grand style for all of CARICOM and de sane world to see!
What will you do to clear your conscience….. will you visit Senegal in secret?
That same lawyer should have put his as. there and tell the mad man bring the child back. Some of you all want quick come ups u all there to come front line to represent him now that he dead. Family want to show up now that f… that he did taking a child out from her home have her in bush f…. u all think that sh.. right men f…that the family need to just burry this man is he brought that f… onto his self because all the time he playing mad didn’t kidnap a child they didn’t go looking for him. Sad thing that a mother has to hurry her child but they knew it was coming already
Well said ME.. I agree with you. Where were all these people to talk with him to bring the child back. Now so much comess. They are blaming everyone but themselves. They should have put Kermisha for adoption if they did not want her. Such a beautiful child I can feel what she must have gone through. My God. Now the Lawyer trying to make a BOX and blaming everyone but themselves. Back off and help find the child this IRKS me…What a stupid group of people living in Dominica. The Police are real people with family too. SXhould they stay there and get their heads cut off. Then we will have a Pilgrimage. Oh such hate in this little country………
Where was the lawyer and the family when he chop up his uncle and kidnap the child??!!! What about the rights of Keniah??!!! NONE of you came out to condemn what Keyan did nor called on him to return the child unharmed. As a matter of fact the mother was laughing at the whole ordeal. Where were you all???!!! We yet to find her!! So just move with all you nonsense. It’s just a pity Keniah was not found before he died.
You see one of the reasons for Dominica’s backwardness is because of no name people like you!
We know that the dead man committed a crime; nevertheless, the family and their lawyer do have the right to know the circumstances revolving around his shooting. People need to know what they are talking about before they commence running off their mouth.
Your concern should be that the police may have deliberately murdered the guy without getting any information from him as to where he left the child, dead or alive!
The police claimed they shot him in his leg, nevertheless we saw photographs of him with his hands covering a hole in his torso from which blood is flowing; two wrongs just do not constitute right!
If the police murdered him, they must be held accountable; but you don’t care about the missing child that could long be dead, and if she is the stupid incompetent police chief and the idiots, he leads are responsible for her demise!
How about that?
Shame of you all, this monster kidnapped the child and now you have him as a hero and never mentioned about the poor child. this kid is in the woods for 15 days and no empathy for the poor child. Its alleged that the father said shot him but now that he is dead lawyer involve. The child’s biological father should take a lawyer on all of them. Wicked people. When or if she is found she should not return to this home.
It seemed obvious from the start that his killing was extra judicial…
These kind of reports show how incompetent the police and law enforcement are in Dominca Why not just stick to the facts of what is going on???
The police should have understood that Keran was the key to finding the missing girl and without him taking them to her location the search would likely be futile. Therefore they shooting him in that manner is part of the reason why she still has not been found and may never be God forbid.
I suspect there may be an explanation of a trigger-happy shooter, or an inexperienced shooter, worse. A shot to the upper arm or shoulder area would have had the cutlass attack under control and after treatment Keran would have been able to lead them to the child.
Now with the events described about the family viewing the corpse, I prefer not to go with what may have actually taken place.
Clayton, you can talk but in my opinion you should have been in jail a long time ago if I had my way guys like you lots would be at the bottom of the Caribbean sea, the problem with Dominica there’s too many sharks on dry land messing up out country.
To solve most of the country’s obstacles to progress is to obliterate the rogue, unintelligent halfway from the political scenery of Dominica.
@Dr Clayton Shillingford, you want that we stick to the facts. Which facts?. The police are lying about what happened. In the absence of the facts people will speculate. The press briefing by the acting police chief is full of untruths including the timeline. Now according to the family lawyer we see shenanigans and confusing instructions. I call on the police to stop being incompetent and come clean. They lied about the guy from Kingshill who died in police custody, they lied about Choksi and have lied about the killing of Keyan.
Tiyani Bihanzin does it again, a practitioner of Fringe Law, have we not seen his pattern and recognize it for what it is. This is such an indiscriminate use of legalese language in the public domain in a pretext of seeking justice and solace for the family of Keyan Alexander. I just fell sorry for the family of Keyan Alexander, who are being dragged into this drama by Tiyani Bihanzin with his antics.
